i'm already with vanguard for my Roth accounts. Is it easy to move money in an out of a standard vanguard taxable account? It was difficult just to switch mutual fund allocation in my roth
I don't know if I am interpreting your question right, however it is very easy to move money in and out of a standard taxable vanguard account. You simply link a bank (or a few banks if need be) to your vanguard account. Then, you can easily transfer funds in online with a few clicks. The money transfers into a money market account, clears for trading after a few days, and then you can trade away.
If you use Vanguard already, it is a NO BRAINER to switch right away. You are tossing money out the window paying for trades today! Not mustachian at all,my friend!
Plus, as you have more money in Vanguard, you can qualify for additional services. Check out their available service levels online. Once you hit $500k in total assets, you can get free financial advice,as an example.
Good luck, and close that etrade account!!!
