How to invest $15,000 as nurses
$15,000 is a meaningful starting stake. For nurses, the priorities look different than the generic advice you'll find elsewhere.
Fund the right accounts first
Max employer 401(k) match (100% return), then Roth IRA up to the limit, then a taxable brokerage. WealthMind AI shows the tax-advantaged room you have left each year.
A starter allocation for nurses
Broad-market index (60%), international index (20%), bonds (15%), cash buffer (5%). Rebalance annually. Fees under 0.1% total.
What to skip
Single stocks, crypto over 5%, "advisor" products with 1%+ fees, and anything promising guaranteed returns. WealthMind AI never sells investment products — we just show you the math.
