How you guys balance between contributing to tax advantage accounts and your brokerage account. I'm in a fortunate position to max my tax advantage contributions but won't have enough for a regular brokerage.

Would love to buy a home someday just not sure when so I was thinking about putting some cash in a normal brokerage account.

Btw anyone here come from Reddit? Would love to see this instance grow.

I haven’t consciously done much to balance it. When I was fresh out of college I couldn’t afford more than tax advantaged space and so I just did that. 15 years on I’m fortunate enough that income has made it a non-issue.

I came over from Reddit during the API dust up and never really went back, but it’s very quiet here.

Definitely much more quiet here. Would love to see this instance grow.

To be fair, there's over 2million subscribers on Reddit and maybe 250 here (edit: I see we're up to 350 now!). It will just take time to build up enough people to get more activity here.
