At your age I would be risk loving ... I currently have 250k in my 401k 200k in plan x (small business solo 401k) and about 400k in equity I am about 10 years older than you.... you can kill it more than me if you do 100% equity... and get on a budget that gives you only enough liquid to pay off your bills and pay for black swan event aka you needed to pay you max insurance deductibles and lost your job so basically 3 months wages plus insurance deductibles every other penny save into a investment vehicle. I wish I did it earlier like your age I would have about double than what I have today I just started in the last 5-6 years.... look up the money guy show or Mr. Money Mustache

I was promoted to manager in Jan but received an offer with a 35% salary increase and much cheaper health insurance outside the firm.

FYI my inflation increase was larger than my promotion increase and my student loan payments also were stopped since I’m no longer an SA.
