Finally made some progress on my end though nothing great. I moved the money in my Roth around so I'll be able to purchase the stocks I choose soon. Hopefully sometime towards the end of next week. I have to go blow some stuff up half a mile underground at the beginning of next week so we will see what the second half of the week brings.
Also, I found out I already have a brokerage account with Fidelity. Turns out that my ESPP plan simply takes money from me every pay check and then puts it into an account that twice a year then purchases company stock for me. The company stock is then in the brokerage account. The "ESPP account" is simply a holding account for the twice a year purchase of the stock. I thought the ESPP account was all by itself. So anyway, I can link a bank account to my brokerage account and purchase stock that way. Unfortunately, my 401k account can't be linked to a brokerage account. I'm stuck with choosing from a list of mutual funds. No big deal though, I get sweet company matches.
I'm also doing even better than I previously though in terms of money saved towards retirement. Good day overall.
