18% into your 401k while making $130,000 and you only have $50k? If you didn't start saving this year, those numbers are weird.

Take some of your cash and max out your ROTH every year. Contributing 18% for retirement is plenty.

I would buy a house that will suit your for the next 10 years. Moving sucks. Put it on a 15 year mortgage with a 20% down payment and use the extra cash flow however you want (paying extra/investing/etc.)

I only increased it to 12 percent maybe a year and a half ago. I had 60k in student loans I paid off before i raised it to 12. Also I was in the airf force prior to college so I got a late start on my 401k.
