I’m 30 years old in a HCOL area, married with 2 kids. Household income is about $235k. We have no student loans, no car payments and no debt other than a mortgage on our house we bought last year for $840k (comps on my street are nearly $1.1 so doing well there). We contribute minimum for the match for my 401k and her 457b. I have $69k in savings, $10k in an IRA, and $5k in my brokerage. Where should I be prioritizing my available dollars each month? Boosting my IRA? Increasing 401k contrib?

Hello,
I have worked in healthcare for almost 4 years now. I have experience in managed care, utilization management, and clinical administrator coordinator. I love my job and the pay is fair but being single and on my own it is not enough to live on and enjoy. I make about 55K and am really hoping to reach at-least a 75K+ job. I also have my Bachelors degree in Sociology! Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas for jobs so I can make higher pay and actually enjoy my hard work earnings?

SO and I are debating contributing to 401k this year since the rate of return is around -11% on our portfolios this year. I believe it would be better off saving the cash in my account.

New college grad just started working FT and I’ve been reading this bowl for awhile and want to make sure my saving plan is on track/best way to prioritize.

1) 6 month emergency fund (target $10k which is more than I need, but I want the peace of mind)
2) Roth 401(k) up to employer match (6%)
3) Roth IRA ($500 monthly)
4) Brokerage account and 401(k)
Plan is to split extra cash between these to have better tax advantage from 401(k) but also have access to funds if needed from brokerage acct
