Which Account Do I Use First?


Listen Later

When it comes to saving money for the future, there are variety of accounts from IRAs, 401(k), 403(b), HSAs and more! How do you know which is best for you? 🤔

Megan and I chat about her recent article which goes through exactly which accounts to fund for 2022.

A brief summary:

  1. Pay off credit card debt
  2. Flow qualified education expenses through a 529
  3. Contribute up to the match in your 401(k) or 403(b)
  4. Budget 10% for unknowns (emergency fund)
  5. HSA
  6. Roth IRA (or backdoor Roth IRA)
  7. Maximize your 401(k) or 403(b)
  8. Save into your 457 plan
  9. Contribute to a SEP IRA
  10. Maximize any other employer retirement plan
  11. Save into a 529 for future education expenses
  12. Roth Conversions
  13. Savings into a Brokerage account
  14. Pay down low-interest debt (student loans and mortgages)
