I'm 27 and just started contributing more. Currently I have $36K overall in 401k and Roth 401K, but I have started contributing $1500 a month to Roth 401K and $543 per month to Roth IRA. I'll pay the taxes now so I don't have to in retirement. What do you guys invest in? Right now I have VOO for the Roth 401K and FXAIX for the Roth IRA.

Max for 35 years and $2.3M. After tax Roth conversion for past ~10 years has been awesome savings vehicle. Having 529 for two kids we did not spend any of current income on college. Combined with max HSA at $250k and defined benefit pension I think I’m set. Now if my lovely bride would let me retire.

What holdings did you have? Total market, S&P, target fund etc?

Been contributing for 23 years, have $1.5m in my plan. My current company matches 100%, which is nice. Husband started a decade later than me and is at $510k. Our kids will go to college soon so I feel like I'll never be able to retire, at least not anytime soon.

I know I will get hated by saying this. Do you think gay pride events are portraying a bad image about our community to public? (Drugs, sexual, inappropriate clothes, and sometimes like strip clubs- some parts). I know it is right to present us but I just feel it is not the right way to show who we are. I wish the pride where everybody can connect in a more friendly way (outdoor game- team work, dance, drink something not too sexual.) there are some good parts of pride tho. Any opinions?
