How are you guys saving & investing? I’ve been at my firm for a year and a half now. My TC is 103k. In my year & a half here, I’ve managed to save and invest a nice little chunk of change. I have around $50k throughout my brokerage accounts & another 20-25k throughout my 401k & IRAs. I feel like I should have been able to save some more, as my expenses are very low because I still live at home. I’m 25, and trying to save up for a house, but the market these days is crazy.

Build a model to see if you’re on track

(Hint: you probably are). If you live at home and sock away 50k per year for the next two years, that’s 175k total saved at age 26?

That compounds to $1.7mm by 60, if you don’t save another penny. (Assuming 7% real returns).

Well what’s your savings rate? For example, I’m 25 making $92k base and I do 11% to Roth401k and 7.58% RothIRA (max) and saving about $1,200/month towards my upcoming wedding. None the less seems like you’re doing a good job saving

I invest manually invest around $2400 every month

Usually $1200 each paycheck

i contribute to my roth 6% (company match)

After expenses for the month & after investments, i usually have around $1000-$1200 in cash leftover

How are you saving so much, no rent?

yes no rent. but my car note is $450 and my insurance is $300 so that eats into my monthly income. also will have to start paying student loans soon which will be around $500 a month

You’re doing great! Do keep in mind that taxes eat into your TC. Compound interest is powerful overtime but you won’t see huge gains in just 1 year

Does anyone mind sharing how they are saving for the future? Or just securing yourself? I have stocks/bounds, 401k, regular (1) savings/ (2) checking, about to open a self found Roth IRA. But, what else am missing? Should I do a health found? I’m also starting a bit later at 34, so I feel like I have a lot of catching up to do. Any advice?

When do you all think it’s time to exit to take your startup on full time? Is there a certain income threshold you’d want it to hit combined with personal savings? Other than insurance, what may be somethings I’m not thinking of in making a plunge? For context, 2 workers, my wife does almost everything now and I assist at nights and weekend. It’s grown from 200 a month to almost 2k a week of profit over the past five months. Has been increasing from 1.5 to 2+ over the past 3 weeks. Contd

Hi all, I have a question regarding retirement accounts. I am not sure if I should choose a Roth or 401k (company has 4+2% match). Currently 23, base salary is ~100k and investments have brought 45k this year which has me teetering between a 22-24% tax bracket. Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!
