Video Overview
A 43-year-old single mother has worked in the United States for two years and targets retirement at 55. She contributes to a Roth IRA and Roth 401(k), while her brokerage account uses 70% QQQ and 30% cash-like assets. She asks whether the Roth IRA's stated $7,000 annual amount should hold QQQ, QLD, or TQQQ and whether to maximize a 401(k) that lacks QQQ. The speaker prioritizes the Roth IRA, at least enough 401(k) contributions to receive an employer match, a low-cost S&P 500 option in the plan, and brokerage investing with remaining cash flow. Contribution limits, matching, plan choices, taxes, and leverage risk require current IRS and plan documents.
