I don’t like to travel but everyone keeps telling me how I shouldn’t be wasting my 30s. I’d rather save that that money, but many have described traveling as an investment in myself. How exactly would traveling more benefit me?

So I’m only contributing to 401k enough to get employer match, and I’m saving an additional ~20% and putting 90% of that into my vanguard mutual funds.

Essentially trading tax for the option of actually using my money.
