How much did you spend on your most recent personal car and what car/year was it?

31, $155 base, expenses 2300mo, 30k investment, only debt is 500k house. Is it too late? How far behind am I? If I throw all of my cash moving forward at investments and mortgage can I recover?

Mortgage PITI payment would be about 50% of take home pay, but it fits easily within my budget. We max out 401k, HSA, and backdoor Roth. We also have about 150k in savings in case things get tight and saving an additional 1k per month. Is this still too tight?

I am considering investing in an early stage startup. I know the founders for many years and are more like family to me. I will be investing $100K with a convertible note.

They are valued at $5M by a startup accelerator and received $50K as part of being admitted into the program. Contd.
