What is the rule of thumb for how much you should have in your 401k account by age? For context I am 24 with $30k in there and $6k in HSA currently (TC = $120k at the moment). How much should I aim to get in there by 30 for example?

For us it calculates the % from gross pay then just takes it from the end amount, so it would be $10k a year

Most of the firms out there have calculators that should be helpful (vanguard, fidelity, schwab)

Living in Chicago with SO. We both love our apt. a ton and has been a great experience. We both just started our first full time jobs. But I’ve been thinking a lot about the cost/benefit to finding a duplex/triplex and house hacking. I am paying $1050/mo. if you total rent, utilities and parking. To me it seems like house hacking I could cut my living expense very close to 0 if I do it right. To me it seems like a great move if I can handle the extra effort that comes with it? Crazy to do this?
