Key Takeaway
You don't have to choose between your financial goals. Start by taking advantage of available employer benefits, then balance your remaining savings between short-term priorities and long-term financial growth. Keep money needed in the near term in an appropriate low-risk option, and consider the tax implications before using long-term savings.
Transitioning from being an employee to a full-time investor opens a whole new world of tax saving opportunities for you and your family. If you’re on the fence about leaving your job and uncertain if you can afford to go out on your own, you’ll be surprised to find that there are amazing tax incentives that will encourage the move.
