Are you working towards financial independence and early retirement (FIRE)? If so, it's important to have a solid investment plan in place. But with so many options available, it can be overwhelming to figure out where to start.
In my experience, the best way to prioritize your investments for FIRE is to follow a step-by-step plan. Here's what I recommend:
- Take advantage of your employer match in your 401k or 403b plan. This is free money and should always be your first priority.
- Consider contributing to a traditional or Roth IRA, depending on your tax situation and investment goals. Both offer tax benefits and can help diversify your retirement savings.
- Maximize your contributions to a Health Savings Plan (HSA), if available. HSAs offer tax benefits and can be used to cover healthcare expenses in retirement.
- Max out your contributions to your 401k or 403b plan, and also consider contributing to a 457b plan if available. These plans offer tax benefits and can help you save more for retirement.
- Consider investing in taxable accounts if you've maxed out your tax-advantaged accounts and still have additional funds to invest. These accounts offer more flexibility in terms of withdrawal options and can help you achieve your FIRE goals.
By following this step-by-step plan, you'll be well on your way towards achieving financial independence and early retirement. Of course, your specific investment strategy may vary depending on your goals and risk tolerance, so be sure to do your own research and consult with a financial advisor if needed. Good luck on your FIRE journey!
