Like others have said: max 401(k). IRA too. Even if you can’t contribute pretax or directly to Roth, get a traditional and convert to Roth at end of year. Build up 6 months of expenses. Then set goals and budget. What do you want and when?
I think the rule is that you should have 3-6 months of an emergency fund. I would max out 401k contributions, set up an HSA as an additional investment vehicle, and then put the rest in the stock market. Stocks are cheap atm so no better time to invest.
People are going to say to not invest because we are facing a recession and that might be true, but a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush. Stocks are cheap now and they will rebound eventually. Even if they go lower, which they may not, you will profit handsomely when they turn around.
