In a way, you should be proud and I'm sure your parents are too. I hope I see my future children grow up to be more successful than me and my wife, much like my parents who sacrificed to get me to where I am today.

Raised by a single mom...I made more money in my first year out of college than she ever made her entire time raising me. Be proud of where you came from and continue to use that as fuel for the fire

Is there an average % of my salary I should be investing per month/year? Currently max out my 401k, Roth and HSA. Contribute $700/month to investment portfolio and ~3k a month towards a future down payment (expecting that 3k to transition to my monthly mortgage payment once I find a home). There’s usually about ~1k left over that I balance between savings and portfolio but didn’t know if there was one I should allocate more to? Will need to do backdoor Roth next year so can contribute more there
