This is for my traditional IRA. The traditional helps offset my taxes for all the W9 work I have to do. At some point I plan to turn into a Roth. I’m 26. I’m a freelancer in a volatile market. I made 47G last year. I should make over 40G this year. I add to my IRA when I get a little ahead. I have a six month emergency fund to live in NYC. The majority of my work is booked within a week of the start date and only lasts a day or two. I work a ton though. 3-7 days/week with my day rate being $150-2,000/day. On my days off, I book as many auditions as possible to secure future work.
I’d like to start investing in dividend appreciation stocks. I like VIG or VYM for my next buy. I have a 1K I can spare to add right now. Which do you think would be a better buy when the market opens on Tuesday? I’m also open to other symbol suggestions but have been focusing on these two.
Current: 2200 VTTSX 1035 VGTSX 2292 VEA
Then I have 6,700 in an aggressive Acorns portfolio. I know everyone hates on Acorns. I opened it before I knew what an IRA was. I won’t be adding anymore big amounts to it… the fees are high (about $1.25/month right now), but they’ve been doing great for me. I don’t want to sell those off for the time being.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
