Thanks for sharing your story. And thank you for everyone for engaging positively unlike some other bowls.

This just shows contribution is more important than trying to find investments that might outperform a few %. OP didn't buy any growth stock and just stuck to broad market indexes. Focus on your human capital. If you get a job with 30% pay increase, that's a 30% gain per year. Excellent job OP!

I think you're doing amazing at your age. Money this early will do all the heavy lifting for you in the future. The low expenses lifestyle isn't always an option for some so keep it up while you can, as your expenses will obviously go up in the future. Your annual is less than 2 months of expenses for us!

Hi All,
Really need some input. We have our new construction done by April 2023. Builder is giving us 28,000 credits which can be used towards closing cost and buy lock rate for 6 months from now and giving us the interest rate for 6.75% for 30 years from US bank. But I also spoke to credit union they give us 5 ARM for 5.5% but can lock rate in feb 2023. So should go with the US bank with 6.75% plus incentives or wait till feb 2023 and thn lock rates(us bank doesn’t give us ARM rates).
