285k (100k brokerage, 150k Roth IRA , 12k Roth 401k, 10k Cash/Emergency fund)

30, half of what I had saved is now left over.

I have what I refer to as “reverse inheritance”; My family can’t cover their bills now and I’m decimating my savings to make sure they’re gonna be ok. I’ve cried more in the last three years than I remember ever crying before. Not because of the money lost, but because I’m losing time during which I see my peers self actualize in whatever way they please.

If I could pay what’s left of my savings to make this go away for us all, I would do so in a heartbeat. Money isn’t everything, love. Enjoy your time 🕦

Haha this was meant to be uplifting but maybe I ended up ranting a bit 😅
I’ll be ok, you got enough to worry about without thinking of my mediocre situation! Try to appreciate your disposition more, that would make me happy :)
Cheers and thank you for your sympathy

M44, married – this is our joint account. Add about $500k for 401k and bank savings.

Have 50k in a checking account at a local bank getting no returns. I like having liquid assets since I support currently myself & girlfriend and any unexpected expenses my mother & younger brother have. Any advice how to calculate what I should keep on reserve vs. invest + learn about consequences of pulling investments early (more tax, fees, etc.). I feel like the inability to access funds when my family needs it has been the reason I haven’t invested outside of 401k and have this cash reserve
