I am making about 35k a year, have 30K saved, and will be making a big jump to about 180k a year in a lower-than-avg cost of living area in the US.

I have no debts, am mid-30s, have 3 kids and am married.

What should I do with my money in 2027?

- buy a house or rent for a while?
- college savings for kids?
- invest?
- start a side hustle?

I’ve been living from paycheck for so long that I feel like I need a mentality shift.
