Title: Opened first taxable account today!
Post by: dhc on April 14, 2015, 05:45:43 PM

My wife and I maxed out our retirement accounts for the first time last year, and this year we're doing one better - we've got enough left over that we've had to open a taxable account!

To make matters better, we discovered recently that due to a couple of unexpectedly high-income and low-spending months, we had quite a bit more to start the taxable account with than we expected, so we can start right off with admiral funds. What a nice surprise!

Congrats!
I'm about to be in the same boat.
On track to max 401k at work, auto-pay set up to max both of our tIRAs, and saving all of my side-job money for the $3k buy in for our first taxable account next month.
The first year of financial focus is a doozie...
