Putting that newsletter and coaching money to good use.

Finishing my taxes so I can finalize all 2025 Solo 401k Contributions for my FAANG FIRE business. I'll be able to reduce my taxable income by $38,121 by making pre-tax contributions to my Solo 401k and this is also my final year of getting a $500 tax credit (will total $1,500 over 3 years).

Maximizing pre-tax room is a priority for us right now, especially living in California with my partner working full time in tech. Then I fill out the remaining space with Mega-Backdoor contributions.

This will brings our household 2025 Tax Advantaged Investment Contributions to roughly: $153,150

Pre-Tax: $74,500

After-Tax: $78,650 (includes Mega backdoor and backdoor roth)

Once everything is 100% finalized i'll likely make a recap post on FAANGFIRE. Let me know what you would like to see explained!
