<prompt> Human: I just took a new job that has no 401k. This is definitely not ideal but it is my dream job and they said they are looking into getting one next year I do plan to bring up the Simple IRA option with them. That said, Id like to start investingsaving my money before that. I am 25, have 19k in savings, now making 37kyear, and have no debt. Id like to max out a Roth IRA and then invest another 5k and keep the rest as emergency fund in savings. The next step is where I get a little confused and need some advice. I have been doing some research on index funds as another option for retirement and it looks like Vanguards VFINX is a good option. Of course, there are a lot of these types of investments and I need to do more research on each individual one before making a decision Im not looking for someone to tell me what to do with this extra 5k, but Id like to know if Im on the right track with my research. What other options broadly are out there for types taxable accounts?  <response>: I added topic flair to your post, but you may update the topic if needed click here for helprpersonalfinancewikiflair.You may also be interested in:- 401k Fund Selection Guide- 401k FAQs- How to handle I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.
