I mean it’s a pretty big accomplishment when you consider the financial state of most US households. So maybe order that nicer whiskey at dinner to celebrate, just this once.

Then, you just kind of put your head down and keep going.

That's up to you, really. Some people blow all of it, others try to see how much they can make that number go up. I'd probably just throw a nice chunk of it into a savings account.

I recently got to my 1st 100k in the bank. I'm a single mom with no sound person giving me advice. Everyone around me over spends, including me. I have no idea what to do. I feel like I should be doing something.

Like others have said, max out 401k and Roth IRA each year, then high-yield savings and invest in index funds or other stocks you prefer. Or something a bit more complex like real estate.

Hopefully you don't have it just sitting in your bank, you'll be losing money with inflation. Open a High Yield Savings Account and look into stock investments.

Principal Architect 1 is correct. If you are stating $100k in the bank then as the other commentators said invest, kill your debt, and keep working.

You’ll need at least $100k per year at retirement to live comfortably. And if you are planning on retiring at 67, that's at least $1M (accounting for inflation, durationof life post retirement and whetheryou want to leave a legacy).

Hi all, I recently purchased a commercial property at WTC, Noida. As I look to grow my portfolio, I spoke to my consultant to see if I could get better prices.

I could potentially get him to set up one-on-ones to help explain the commercial real estate market. Even if this property doesn’t seem interesting, I think an interaction wouldn’t hurt.. contd
