Why does everyone blindly trust the 401k and feel it's the best investment? The more I think about it the more it seems like a bad idea. Btw, I am not a US citizen and don't have anything (contd...)

Brand new into my career and I’m trying to juggle wanting to max my 401k, Roth IRA, and HSA, while also saving for a down payment on a house! I realize that with my current salary ($78k) doing all this is too ambitious. Any advice on streamlining my priorities and which ones I should give up on for right now? If anyone else has gone through something similar early in their career what did you do?

Haven’t done the dating thing in a while so need advice!
