I am 26, with around 90k in my 401k, almost entirely Roth. I always see people say to max your employer match contribution, but mine is unlimited 50%. I’m very grateful for this and have been pushing my contribution to 12-13%, but I’m concerned I’ve been leaving a lot on the table. Should I ever be putting money in my brokerage account if I still have juice to squeeze in my employer match?

Edit: I increased my contribution to max it out at the $24,500 limit and get the full $12,250 match for my employer, thanks for the advice. For all of you who want to join my company, if you’re an MEP engineer or PM hit my line.

Seeing a lot of people talk about doing both long form and short form to extend their reach. Is it worth the time to take the same content you are doing for long form and chopping it up into segments for shorts?

This is a video about Montana’s plan to stop corporations from spending money in politics.
Two forgotten robber barons from the 1800s may just be the key to understanding how to solve it.

The Montana Plan goes after something no one thought to touch: the powers that states grant to corporations in the first place. It's completely bipartisan, backed by people who are tired of corporations purchasing elections, not democrats and republicans.
If Montana pulls this off, every state in the country could follow, and supporters in nearly 20 states are already working on it.

I recently dove down the rabbit hole that is the Montana Plan and I genuinely think this has a chance of working, even if it’s just a start to something more concrete. I’m curious, does anyone know why this isn’t getting more attention in national discussions? Just another case of mainstream media trying to protect corporate money?

In case you haven’t been following Montana’s effort to ban political spending by corporations or are interested in learning more, I made a video you can check out below:
