When a longer than expected wait for your new Chase Supersapphire credit card is your biggest worry, you really should shut up and enjoy your privileged life.

So just bc someone is "privileged" and doesn't have to deal with hunger or poverty or a terrible sickness, that means they can't complain about the things that bother them? I doubt any of those people are actually serious about their complaining and realize that it's not that big of a deal

Agreed. But there are people here with real problems too, like the person asking about treatments for stage 4 cancer. Every network has people more privileged than others

I’m 30 and my spouse and I want to save a million dollars in 15 years by age 45. I figured 1,000,000/15=66,666/yr need to save. To get to 66,666/yr, need to contribute:
-401k at 19500k x 2
-Roth IRA at 6000 x 2
-remaining $7833 x 2 in a brokerage account

Does this look good? Am I missing something? With discipline 2 people can save 1 million in 15 years?

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!!
