Hello All, I have an account at Vanguard and have been considering converting my index mutual funds to the coordinating ETFs. Is there any downside to doing this? These are held within IRAs. (I am retired am not buying mutual funds/ contributing to an IRA on a monthly basis anymore.)...

Hello, I have an Vanguard IRA. Is it possible to buy a non-Vanguard mutual or ETF in a Vanguard IRA. When I look at purchasing, it seems to be limited to Vanguard funds. I did not find instructions for this on their web site. I do not anticipate day-trading - I am extremely slow moving -...

Hello All, I am seeking help choosing funds at Vanguard for a rollover IRA. I will be rolling out my 401(k) from my job into Vanguard January 2nd. (Unfortunately, the fees do not make it worthwhile for me to keep it there. The administrative fees (which come in on top of the fund fees) are...

I have had a case of analysis-paralysis for years with my taxable accounts. Basically, I just looked at them, and froze. I made my first move a few months ago, sold some funds (which had spewed capital gains), and am now looking at selling a stock that I have too much of and have held way too...

Hello All, DH is retiring the end of the year, and will have a pension and annuity income, and 401k access. I have a 401k through my job, taxable accounts, and a small Roth IRA. I was going to retire in August but a family situation has moved that up to the spring. The most I am anticipated...

So, I have finally started on rolling over to prepare for the back door Roth. I was starting with my little SEP which is in Vanguard (total stock market fund), and contacted my 401k provider. One thing that I learned is that it is not a wire transfer. A check will be issued - whenever, which...

Happy Passover & Easter to those who celebrate.:angel: Good wishes to all.:flowers: :greetings10:

Usually my commutes are just long and tiring, but I've had two bad ones lately. About a month ago I ran onto a subway car, a gentleman in there was in the process of a bodily function that should only be done in a private bathroom. (Needless to say, I ran off the train at top speed as soon as...

Asking for a friend - In the event you had a spouse that you cared about, but who was somewhat financially less than disciplined, what would you do to protect them in the event of them being the surviving spouse.

Hello, I am looking for a fund in a taxable account to generate income in retirement. I would be interested in having the dividends deposited into a checking account. I was looking at Vanguard Dividend Appreciation and Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETFs. I understand the value will go up and...

I have a 401k with John Hancock through my job. (I'm not crazy about it.) It has administrative costs of .52 on top of the fund fees. I also have a rollover with Vanguard through an old job. I like the Vanguard fund, very low cost .04. Also, I have a traditional, non-deductible IRA at...

May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand.;D

Great job on the ice!!! Congratulations!!!:dance:

Do you have a financial Achilles' heel? For example, I had thought that I was pretty resistant to pleas for money from certain relatives. No, I won't co-sign a loan, no I'm not buying that, you want it you buy it yourself. (I'm not talking about normal expenses when raising a family, and would...

Does anyone know if there is any advantage to rolling an old 401(k) to a new employer's as opposed to a roll over IRA? My question is also in connection to making conversions of traditional IRAs into Roths at a future date. Will it help to keep the amount of the rollovers from prior jobs...

Hi All, Like many I have been lurking here for quite a while. I feel like I know many of you. I am 56, DH is 57. We both work way too many hours at stressful jobs, and have both dealt with health issues. We've raised six kiddos and are hopefully in the home stretch. They are not all...
