Hello,
Long time lurker of MMM and now that I'm graduating in a semester, I can start my path to early retirement.
However, I'm still pretty confused on where I should begin investing. I already have been putting money into my Roth IRA from my two part time jobs (after I have my living cost paid down). But once I get a full time job, should the order be
- Max 401(k) until contribution
- Max Roth/Traditional IRA
- Then save for early retirement
Should the early retirement savings be done in a tax advantage account or in a taxable account that I contribute to after my 401(k) and IRA? After all, if I want to retire at the age of 40 something I won't be able to touch the 401(k) until I'm 59.5.
