Hope you don't have a disabled vet tag on a nice truck. You'll trigger some folks here.

You've heard the definition of a boat? "A hole in a lake that you pour money into."
It's like that, except cows are standing around.

5 years ago $2,500 - $3,500/month after 401k & 529. That was without really trying to save.
Now I’m doing good if I’m not pulling money out of savings to pay off the cc balance at the end of the month. Our household income has gone up quite a bit since then too; my wife stays buying shite so that doesn’t help.

My first job out of college, my car note plus rent used about half of my after tax money, and I still needed to buy groceries and pay for utilities and insurance. If I was careful, I’d end up with a little left over to sock away.
That’s living check to check.

A farm you don’t make money off of.
Basically keeping a bunch of pets that cost money to feed and vet bills.

Do you guys investing thousands every month also have a pension or no?
Posted on 8/20/24 at 2:04 pm to RandySavage
Pensions are usually for govt work or utilities right? Most private employees don’t have that, just 401k

Right but Im gov so Im trying to figure out what I need to be doing given between my wife and I we will be bringing in a little over 100k a year after retirement.

Bro there is no definitive right answer. Saving thousands every month to save for later in life just to die at 66 doesn’t seem “right”. Find a balance that works for you

After all bills, deductions from work, retirement savings. We have about 4K per month. This is for food, gas, eating out and just bullshite. At end of the month we dump whatever is left in savings for irregular expenses or pay on long term debt (house/heloc).

Can I contribute here? I'm retired and have this stash of money over here. Whatever I spend in a month and regardless of what I spend in a month, I go to the stash and get it. I try to be frugal though.

I'm definitely yolo but I'm in my 40s now so I've started to think about it more. I definitely want to err on the side of enjoying it now with my kids but don't want to be totally poor or work forever either. We also stand to inherit a decent amount of money and i try not to factor it in but can't help myself

Then you are doing it wrong.
__________
Anyone that doesn't have significantly more money than 4 years ago should let someone else make their investing decisions. The down votes are from idiots!

The answer is to always pay yourself first!
Your savings should be your first expenditure each month.
