Hi all,
This is my first post. I just recently discovered MMM and the exciting world of FI and have been trying to absorb as much of it as I can. I found out my employer will be shutting down in 6 months to a year and am trying to use that time to make significant changes to my finances to set me up better moving forward.
I currently have an HSA with a balance of around $1200. I want to start investing that money as it is currently just sitting in the account. However, I have no idea what funds I should put this into. From what I've read the Vanguard Total Stock Market Index seems to be ideal, but the HSA administrator which holds my plan doesn't offer anything from Vangaurd.
There is a very long list of Mutual Funds available. I won't list the individual funds because the post would be to lengthy, but below are all of the headers:
Invesco Funds
American Funds
Federated Funds
Fidelity Advisor
Franklin Templeton Investment
Scout Funds
Can anyone recommend which specific funds I should invest in and what percentage of the money should go into each?
Also, does it even make sense to invest now knowing I will be leaving my current job in 6 months to a year and seeking employment elsewhere?
Lastly, I will be having a dental procedure that costs $2200 out of pocket in Jan. With this information, is there any negatives of investing the money now when I will need it in January? (aside from the fact the investment could lose money).
Thank you all for the help I'm sure you will provide!
