If you instead put $50,000 into a stock paying a monthly dividend at 8% and use the dividend to make a loan payment on the car then at the end of 5 years you'll have your $20,000 car paid for and $30,000 left in your stock investment for a total of $50,000


Paying cash for shit might not always be the best thing to do
Math doesn't add up, although I agree on not paying cash for a depreciating asset like a car when interest rates are low.

Dividends are paid off the stock price. So getting an 8% dividend is not like it's extra cash. After a stock goes ex-dividend, the share price typically drops by the amount of the dividend paid to reflect the fact that new shareholders are not entitled to that payment.

So while you're getting a "dividend," you capital tied up in the share price is dropping too. Couple that with a stock that still changes value like any other stock and that $50k you put in this year, could easily only be worth $30k just from a bear market alone.

Too many people think dividends are free money, and most are not.

However, a post about someone contributing to a ROTH for 15 years and not realizing they needed to actually pick funds with their contribution, while it simply say in a money market account got me thinking (Wow, that's bad understanding!!!).

ROTH contributions can be withdrawn at any time right? So why can't I take the few thousand I'm missing to max this year and just put it in the money market account part of the ROTH and treat it like liquid savings? If I end up needing it, can I choose these funds in the money market account to withdraw or is it required I sell an investment to withdraw? Does anyone know how withdrawing funds from a ROTH works as far as choosing where that money comes from in the account?
Sounds like you should just keep it in the MM part of your ROTH.

The Roth IRA as an Emergency Fund

The advantage of putting emergency savings into a Roth IRA is that you don’t miss the limited opportunity to make that year’s retirement contribution. You can only contribute a few thousand dollars to a Roth IRA each year, and once a year passes without a contribution, you lose the opportunity to make it forever. However, accessing these funds should be your last resort...

The part of your Roth IRA contribution earmarked as your emergency fund doesn't belong in stocks, bonds, or mutual funds like a typical retirement contribution. It belongs in a liquid account (meaning cash or something that can easily be converted to cash and that earns interest) that can be withdrawn from at a moment's notice without losing principal.

Perfect, that's exactly how I see it. Needed to see it thought out like that though. Thanks for finding!

I'll max my contribution this year but leave the chunk I'm putting in now in a money market fund until my actual emergency savings is back to level. When it gets there, this chunk will get invested.

So while my emergency fund needs built back a bit to my normal level, I feel like not maxing my ROTH this year is a bad idea just to put my emergency fund where I want it, even though I can withdraw on a ROTH if needed almost like an emergency fund.

I hope I'm making sense.
Makes sense. I hadn’t thought of it that way.

Lew,

Yeah, that makes sense. Depending on your broker, you may need to choose a money market fund or they may default free cash into one. Vanguard defaults to a good one, Schwab puts me into a cash account that pays nothing but you can buy SWVXX or one of the others and get 4% interest or so

Quote:
Schwab Value Advantage Money Fund® – Investor Shares (SWVXX). 7-day yield (with waivers) as of 12/28/20224. 4.26%. Minimum Initial Investment.
Short term tbills are pretty juicy (nominally) so money market returns are alright. Well, based on what was available for years

Keep in mind it's 7.4% yearly but pays monthly which gives you an advantage in compounding.

I was throwing a generality out there . I know the math isn't correct. It's the concept.

I'm interested in what you say about the price action of a dividend stock dropping when a dividend is paid. That's interesting. Seems like there would be no point in owning a dividend stock.

My daughter invested $3200 in MAIN exactly 2 years ago and the value now is $4181. ETRADE says her gain is 12.56%

Thats 30.65% increase by my calculation 3200 to 4181 . What am I missing?

Maybe the 12.56 is an annualized result. The numbers don't work out exactly, but maybe there was some dividend reinvestment that muddies it up or it's not exactly two years.

All the dividends were reinvested back into the stock to help it grow over time

Her initial purchase was 100 shares at 31.962 on 1/6/2021

So why don't they calculate the dividend reinvestment into the end result ??

Yeah, that's a pet peeve of mine. If you buy $1,000 of stock and it pays at 10% dividend and doesn't change in price, then reinvesting dividends will report that you have a return of 0% when it's really 10%.

I suppose since you paid taxes on the dividends that were reinvested it’s technically not a gain. However, I have the same annoyance since I just want to be able to glance at my brokerage account and get a good picture of how much return I’ve had on my original investment.

Yeah, that's a good point about taxes. So there's probably no perfect way that a brokerage could report it without knowing a lot of stuff about us that we don't want them to know.

It just seems like it should be a problem that's been solved, and it hasn't.

Good reminder to pump those investment accounts in red years to gain a significant compounding interest advantage and savings for the future. These large red years don't happen as often as you think. It can be hard mentally for people to look at their account and see the decline. My passive investing into my 401k/IRA are down 19% from their all-time highs but I am looking to invest even further now as my gains for the future will be greater.

Hope this helps someone sock away a little more!
