How old do you think you will be when you retire? I feel like I will never fully retire ! I’m actually OK with that. I can never see myself not working some kind of job.

Considering the amount of debt I have, I’m not sure if I’ll ever be able to retire. I don’t even have a retirement account.

Sameee I really don’t think i can ! Also I like nice things … I have an account but it’s barely anything !!!

Ha, retire. I assume my body will tell me I'm done with nursing by the time I hit 60, but I'll have to find another income. My plan was to retire at 65, but I can't put enough money away with inflation the way it is.

I told myself I would start saving for retirement in earnest once I paid off my student loans, but I feel like they are growing faster than I can pay them down. I have a little bit saved in my 401(k) with employee matching but that's not anywhere close to what I need, and I'm in my early 40s. Who actually knows if I'll ever retire?

Omg ya'll. I'll probably never be able to fully retire either it's crazy how much stuff has went up 🥹 I pray to one day be debt free

I spent the last 3 months "growing up" & now I'm ready to go. 1st thing is for me to get my own place. I'd like to buy instead of rent because I don't want to pay someone else's mortgage.

I'm thinking of selling my car & cash out some of my 401k to buy a house. My thought is to put down 3.5% for a FHA loan then make a big payment towards the principal to reduce long-term interest.

Question about what to do next. I’ve maxed out everything—401k, HSA, IRA, backdoor Roth 401k. My bills are all paid. I’ll probably make about 16,500 more this year to do stuff with (ie money that isn’t going to taxes or insurance or anything). What should I do with it? Crypto? Set it on fire? Get a hair transplant?

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
