"Example: In retirement you could withdraw: $50K from a 401(k) (taxed as income) $30K from a Roth (tax-free) $20K from a brokerage (long-term capital gains) Thats tax strategy not tax guessing"

"The numbers dont lie: According to official CPI data: $100000 in Jan 2020 = $125037.70 in June 2025 Thats a cumulative inflation rate of XX% over X years. Or roughly XXX% per year"

"Quite possibly the worst take Ive seen on this app. If youre XX and can invest just $500/month for XX years you could end up with $3.6M - while only contributing $300K total. Thats the power of compound interest. You dont need to gamble to build wealth. You need patience and a plan. And guess what You'll continue making more money throughout your career and will likely want to invest more & more and the numbers get silly as one could imagine. Let's say you "gamble" from years 18-25 and end up with $X starting at XX. You're still young - so its not the end of the world. Then you go ahead and"

"Since 2020 the dollar has lost over XX% of its purchasing power. That means $100000 in January 2020 had the same buying power as $125000 today. Outright insanity. If youre not investing inflation is silently robbing your future. A thread on how to fight back"

"Brokerage accounts are the most underrated retirement asset. Why - No contribution limits - Long-term capital gains = lower tax rates (0% XX% 20%) - No early withdrawal penalties - Great for pre-59 retirement flexibility Great for bridging the gap before you can touch retirement accounts"

"Retirement planning isnt one-size-fits-all. The 401(k) is a solid start - but real retirement plans layer multiple tools: - Tax diversification - Flexible accounts - Inflation awareness - Smart withdrawal strategies"

"A 401(k) gets you started. But real retirement planning includes: Tax diversification Inflation hedging Social Security strategy Longevity protection You dont need more accounts. You need a smarter plan"

"Tax diversification gives you flexibility. Three key account types: - 401(k)/Traditional IRA: Tax-deferred - Roth IRA: Tax-free withdrawals - Brokerage: Flexible access taxed at capital gains rates A mix gives you control over what you pay and when"

"@FSPC113 Thats the way to do it Diversification across tax buckets is a game changer"

"Inflation is invisible until its not. You dont see money disappearing from your account. You just start noticing: - Groceries are up - Travel costs more - Rent and childcare are stretching your budget This is what it means to lose purchasing power"

"Inflation is a retirement killer. - At X% inflation $100000 today = $55000 in XX years - At X% it drops to $45000 If your plan doesnt include inflation-adjusted withdrawals youll fall behind"

"Dont ignore Social Security - but dont depend on it either. - Avg monthly benefit (2025): $1850 - Delay until age XX = XX% higher benefit vs claiming at XX Its a useful piece of the puzzle not the whole plan"

"60% of your portfolio in one stock A XX% drop wipes out XX% of your net worth. Even if the S&P XXX is crushing it youre still losing. Thats concentration risk. It doesnt ask permission. It just shows up - fast"

"Deferring taxes sounds great - until you retire. Example: A $1M 401(k) balance might feel like 'enough.' But after federal (and possibly state) income taxes youll have $800k left for spending"

"Most people think their 401(k) is all they need for retirement. Spoiler: Its usually not even close. Heres the truth about why retirement planning is broken - and how to fix it to bulletproof your future (with real numbers):"

"If tax rates rise in the future your withdrawals could cost even more. Without tax diversification youre putting all your eggs in one (taxed) basket. A 401(k) can get you started but it wont get you all the way there"
