u/Frosty-Reporter7518 13d ago

Are you going to Dave Ramsay 100% cash this investment property

u/Pretend_Vanilla51 13d ago

OP .........You're a dip shit🤣 your "passive income" isn't keeping up with inflation lol 😆 any moron can put money in the bank and collect interest

1

u/kb24TBE8 13d ago

Do you have to pay tax on it if you with draw the 1K monthly?

1

u/jnguyen1891 13d ago

You have to pay tax regardless if you pull it out or not. Interest income is taxable at your marginal income tax bracket.

How do we generate 5.26?

It's just a savings account.

u/Artfuldodger96 13d ago

How old are you and how long did it take to accumulate 250k in savings

1

u/jnguyen1891 13d ago

First $100k is always the longest, but wealth really snowballs from there with consistent investing and letting compounding work in your favor.

I don't remember when I hit my first $250k, somewhere in my mid 20's.

u/flick-it 13d ago

Have you considered a move to FDLXX? It would be state income tax exempt at a 5% return.

1

u/jnguyen1891 13d ago

Yes, but I live in a state with no income taxes so that benefit is moot.

u/Puzzleheaded-Goose79 13d ago

What’s your 1k month of passive income?

2

u/Dry-Revenue2470 13d ago

Inflation at 6% and you have to pay tax on the interest you earn, you are actually loosing about $700 a month bra.

2

u/jnguyen1891 13d ago

First, inflation is under ~3% right now. Second, everything is taxed. Third, please read the post why I put it there.

Why do people in this subreddit fail reading comprehension so badly? It's like a night and day difference compared to r/personalfinance

u/Crypto_Advocate101 13d ago

Don't worry I've read where your money is, it's not making what it could be... on the amount you've probably got invested you could be making a fortune.

Don't always assume people can't read, it's not a good look for you acting all high and mighty because you have a few $$$ to your name.

2

u/jnguyen1891 13d ago

I'm okay with index funds and set it to forget it. Good luck with FOREX. I'm not claiming to be high and mighty. It's money for a rental property, not showing you my Bugatti, lol.

u/Crypto_Advocate101 13d ago

Literally implying people can't read when they comment something you don't like...

2

u/jnguyen1891 13d ago

I never said I don't like the comment. I'm implying people can't read when they're implying you should use money you're going to spend very shortly on investments that may lose the principal capital.

u/ElAlqumista 13d ago

Any tips for a newbie? I’ve been wanting to start earning from savings for a while now but first I am also trying to pay all the debts that I’ve accumulated. It’s not much but makes you bleed

5

u/jnguyen1891 13d ago

There's an order for financial independence that's generally accepted by most:

  1. Build a minimum 3 month emergency fund.
  2. Pay off all high interest debt.
  3. Contribute at least the matching portion of the 401k plan if offered.
  4. Max out your HSA if available.
  5. Max out your 401k if available.
  6. Buy and hold index funds at a self-directed brokerage account.

1

u/ElAlqumista 13d ago

Great thanks! Makes sense but I don’t think we have 401k where I work rn what could I do instead? Is that something you could still get signed up for?

4

u/EntireBeach 13d ago

Currently sitting at 50k getting 200/month! My plan is to be at 70k this year! Only started last year!

u/Own_Accountant_5229 13d ago

Think you’ll return 40% in a year? 😂🤦‍♂️😂

8

u/Metz392 13d ago

Obviously they didn’t make the other 50k in interest in a year. Come on bro use that thing in your head

-5

u/Own_Accountant_5229 13d ago

RIF. If he’s at 50k CURRENTLY and wants to be at 70 in this year, that would be 40% increase in one year (or less).

2

u/Bamfs01 13d ago

Oh my. Did they say that additional $20k came from interest? Usually someone that puts $50k in an investment vehicle projecting to have another $20k invested in a year is smart enough to understand how interest works. You’re currently not thinking this through.

4

u/Metz392 13d ago

I’m not explaining his comment to you. You’re taking it far too literally. If he saved 50k in a year including the money he’s making off interest, that means he hopes he can be at 70k and the interest will help him get there.

Everyone here that uses to their brain to think knows exactly what the commenter meant lol.

2

u/EntireBeach 13d ago

It’s ok. It’s his first day on the job lol

1

u/B_R_U_H 13d ago

Side note here, now that your balance is $250k is it recommended to perhaps put any further savings into another account just in case?

3

u/jnguyen1891 13d ago

I remove the interest each month over $250k into another HYSA. But good call out for those who don't know!

This is a HYSA with Marcus by Goldman Sachs, no limit on withdrawals as of now

Do good in school, work your way up at your job, improve existing skills, continue to learn new ones, spend wisely, and always pay yourself first by investing for the future.

Sounds cliche but it's true.

And anyone here who downvotes me for answering this morons attempt at sensible investment advice, with an equally idiotic story of someone chopping up a dog walker, should wake the hell up. Which by the way is true, it was a story from palm beach Florida. Here it is. Now, if you want real investment advice, let me know. I have a group of 1200 people with whom I help better learn the ins and outs of the market, options, futures, crypto, etc….

u/Perfect-Brain-7367 14d ago

I'm around 10% of this. Im still on track to max the Roth and contributing to 401k but that guaranteed, no-risk HYSA is still so enticing to me for this exact reason. Made more than a months worth of HYSA interest in VOO today but I still wish the HYSA had more in it lol.

8

u/jnguyen1891 14d ago

I usually only put 6-12 months of expenses in a HYSA and the rest are all in investments. This is a down payment for an apartment I'm buying so the balance is higher than usual 😁

u/Kproper 13d ago

How is your Marcus HYSA at 5.26% or is this a CD?

u/TerdFerguson2112 13d ago

UFB Direct is 5.25% and Vio Bank is 5.3% with no minimum required

u/WolfPackWSB 14d ago

You can make more. If you owned any Yieldmax managed fund with TSLY, or any of the Mag 7 companies. You would have made almost 100k YTD (monthly return has avg. 13-27%) even corporate bonds pay you around 12-18%..

2

u/nubnub92 13d ago

TSLY is down 33% YTD and APLY is down 8% YTD. do they pay dividends? am I missing something?

1

u/WolfPackWSB 13d ago

It's lowest monthly dividend this year was 5.6%. Keep the payout reinvested. When you play enough of it using covered calls you end up with a lower average cost per share. This market has been simple with its trends to gradually work down your risk to $0/per share by collecting premiums of selling calls!

1

u/nubnub92 12d ago

wow ty this feels like an investment cheat code, I'll buy some tomorrow. where can you see the historical monthly payout percentages? I couldn't find them on their website

1

u/WolfPackWSB 10d ago

Google them, they will show its % return based monthly & yearly. Since most are only about 12-24 months old you really see the value in return dividend wise. The bottom prices show return on price which is just showing its trading $$ price cause it varies from $12-24/share

1

u/WolfPackWSB 13d ago

They aren't stock, they are Traded Options. Their price per share have don't reflect there value, reflects more on the value of the company being traded. Apple is down for the year so is Tesla. They play Option Spreads to produce monthly income and payouts.

1

u/WolfPackWSB 13d ago

Yes, they pay out every month.

3

u/Impossible-Wear5482 14d ago

How does one go about setting up this magic afk money farming machine and why doesn't everyone do it?

1

u/WolfPackWSB 14d ago

I wouldn't lie about it. The Avg. Return is Posted on all Passive Income managed Funds. This year has been a solid one but it's far from over. Don't put all your eggs in one basket, make sure you have cash on available. Even if you put half your liquidity into NVDY, you would have a Return YTD of almost 33%

1

u/WolfPackWSB 14d ago

Open a brokerage account with Marcus or any investment brokerage site. Look into managed monthly income traded funds stick with company's like MSFT, TSLA, GOOG & a few others. I know TSLY is TSLA managed account cause I have it along with YMAG. NVDY, AMZY, APLY, MSFO, AMDY look at their Return. MSFO return is over 24% in 12 months. NVDY is 113% in 12 months crazy!!!

u/jnguyen1891 14d ago

Hey, $37 is nothing to sneeze at. We all started somewhere. It will snowball and grow more before you know it!

I use Marcus, UFB, and Raisin. Some in SPAXX when I sell equities in my Fidelity account and whatever the fund is over at Vanguard.

18

u/FunkOff 14d ago

Congratulations, but have you considered an investment strategy with a higher return?   Lots of stocks and etfs pay higher dividends than that.  You can also sell options.

26

u/jnguyen1891 14d ago

Yes, but all of these involve risks which the $250k can't afford to take due to the nature of what it's for (investment property in the short-term).

Stocks with high dividend yields still have share price fluctuations where you can lose more than the dividend itself. Selling calls and puts on my existing holdings also have share price risk regardless of how the options expire.

There is nothing that is paying better than 5-6% with zero risk right now compared to HYSA and CDs.

-3

u/Gohstfacekila 14d ago

T bills are better right now. Your maxing at 13k per year interest. 3 month T bills have a YTM of 5.39% every 90 days. So you can just reinvest in T bills 4 times and make 5% every 3 months or you can wait all year to make 5-6%.

u/rhayhay 13d ago

Imagine being so confident, yet having no idea how bonds work...

u/Bamfs01 13d ago

Yeah, it’s called APY for a reason…

3

u/Own_Accountant_5229 13d ago

You don’t make 5.39% in 90 days. You make a quarter of that. 5.39 is annualized. That would be over 21% annually. 😂😂😂

6

u/SacoETrampa 13d ago

This is really not how it works… your comment makes it seem like 3 month bills are a no brainer because you will make 5% 4x over a year? That’s not how bonds are quoted, always quoted in “annualized” terms, so that comparing rates is ez/natural. Over 3m, you will make about 5%\4 (ignoring compounding).

Still, bills are typically better because the bank is just crossing you against some rates at the end, and trying to make some spread - so you can cut off the middleman. CDs in online banks will become very attractive if rates suddenly fall, as banks typically take some time to reprice, so you can fix an artificially high rate on a CD right after a massive rally of the curve.

0

u/Gohstfacekila 13d ago

It’s yield to maturity. Not annual percentage yield. Your not compounding any interest but your maturity is only 3 months. So yes you really are making the YTM every 3 months. You just have to reinvest and there is not guarantee it will be 5.39 in the next 3 month cycle.

2

u/TerdFerguson2112 13d ago

That’s exactly how it works. T bills are short term so duration risk is almost zero so principal balance is not at risk. You have interest rate risk at maturity to redeploy the existing fund if rates decrease but short term rates are at an inverse to long term rates today so you’re better off investing in 90 day t bills to maximize your interest payments as well as reduce you state tax exposure

9

u/Momof-3DDDs 14d ago

Agreed. CDs is fine with me. I have $375k with 5.35% as of now and it gives me $1675/ month. I had 5.5% before.

1

u/nik4dam5 13d ago

Where do you get that return?

1

u/Momof-3DDDs 13d ago

I have Merrill Lynch broker account and short term CDs from there offer those rates. Brokerage count alone offers 4.72% now

2

u/TerdFerguson2112 13d ago edited 13d ago

SGOV is at 5.4% and is state income tax exempt. Duration risk is minimal since they’re maximum 90 day t bills. Only risk is interest rate risk in the event the market drives rates down, which I don’t see any time soon.

2

u/djd1985 13d ago

What do you like to do with the $1,675 p/ month? Compound it? Invest in stocks? Real estate?
