At 29 years old I just decided to take investing seriously this year. Finally at the $20k+ mark!!!! The goal is to end this year at $35,000+...Hoping to hit $100k by 32. I'm really excited !!!
Hi there! I'm pretty new to investing and currently contributing $125/week to my brokerage account and currently investing 10% of each check into my 401k (my job matches up to 2%) I roughly make between $145-$150k a year (I'm not able to max out my 401k yet but working towards it).... I was thinking maybe I can increase my 401k contributions to 13% since it has tax advantages and just save about $50-$75 a week into the brokerage? I'm already maxing out my Roth IRA by contributing $625/month. Thank you in advance!
Just wanted to add that I'm 29 and my goal for my brokerage is a mix of a few things... earlier retirement (I'd like to be "work optional" or not work as hard in my 40s) and I'd like to buy a home eventually so it's for that as well
UPDATE: I've decided to increase my 401k contributions to 13% while still keeping the brokerage at 125. Thank you!
