I found it possible to do all that when I started making around $70k/year, but that was over a decade ago. Also depends on your living situation. If you can flex with several roommates, you could reallocate rent dollars elsewhere and have enough for all those things.

I would say 70-80

Hi all, I have a question regarding retirement accounts. I am not sure if I should choose a Roth or 401k (company has 4+2% match). Currently 23, base salary is ~100k and investments have brought 45k this year which has me teetering between a 22-24% tax bracket. Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!
