๐ Investing into retirement accounts vs non-retirement accounts? It depends. (AND it's never too late!) It's always tax beneficial to invest into retirement accounts before non-retirement accounts.
๐ Coach Mike has focused only on one at a time in his 20's. Leading to his net worth to be about 50% in retirement accounts and 50% in non-retirement accounts in his 30's.
๐ Reminder, this is only once you are debt free! If you have debt or no emergency fund, then you want to focus there before investing.
๐ Rules: Minimum 10% - maximum 20% into retirement accounts. Any money after the 20% we recommend paying off your house off early or invest in non-retirement accounts.
Ask: what is the likelihood that you will want access to that money before your 60's?
