Good afternoont everyone,

i make about about 10k a month after taxes

califronia

married with 2 kids

only debt is our house 405k on it.

50k in emergancy fund

200$ a month on 529

about 150k in a HYSA

no retirement,

house payment is about 2,500 a month

i save about 2k every month my choice is either work on paying off the house then invest after or investing it in the stock market

i was thinking to put that 150k into the stock market and add 2k a month then pay off my house. but i think paying off the house feels more comforting .....

what would you do ?

I know we prefer to have our best health rather than the VA comp. Unfortunately, we are all in this situation. I know having this gives us a step ahead of the rest, but how are you using it to go further? How has having VA Comp impacted your life? What is your story?

For me, it helps me feel at peace in mind that I don't have to worry financially since I live below my means. This has helped me focus on what matters: my education and my family. helped me set up a 529 plan for my kids. I am blessed, yes, and no.

if you have done i, what was it like.

Good afternoon everyone,

my wife is a stay at home wife, she feels like she is in a cycle everyday with the same thing everyday, she cares for our son he is 10 months at the moment. while i work, thankfully i have a decent job with good life balance. For those in her side are you doing to help with with that ? or what can i do? i know she likes to make tiktok vidoes on the side for fun but idk what else i can make her feel meaningful not live like she is in a cycle.

so far its just my wife that knows.
