I have been out of a Full-Time job since January, and I have done consistent freelance work designing logos, websites, social media content, and videos. But not having a full-time job with benefits isn't the way in this world. I apply to jobs almost daily and either get ghosted or an automated response saying "we went in a different direction". It's exhausting not even getting a chance to speak with someone.

I’m 30 and my spouse and I want to save a million dollars in 15 years by age 45. I figured 1,000,000/15=66,666/yr need to save. To get to 66,666/yr, need to contribute:
-401k at 19500k x 2
-Roth IRA at 6000 x 2
-remaining $7833 x 2 in a brokerage account

Does this look good? Am I missing something? With discipline 2 people can save 1 million in 15 years?
