Hello was there anything on the Balanced Body written exam (reformer) that caught you off guard that would help me? Anything you think I should study? There’s so much info it’s overwhelming. Any input is helpful.
I’m 27M and have been living with my parents since after college. Started my federal career right out of college as well. Now a GS-13. If you are single, have no kids (I have no pets too), and have a good relationship with your parents then do not let society make you think you need to live on your own. Everyone’s circumstances are different. My personal goal is financial freedom and I wouldn’t be where I am at if I lived on my own. I definitely can afford it but it would come at a cost. Thankfully I am close with my parents and we get along. Take what you want this. To each their own. Took me a while to learn about the 100% C fund thing but once I got it, my TSP skyrocketed (obviously there is risk though). Definitely much better than the standard fund they put people at when they begin their federal career. If I were 22 again, I would switch everything to 100% C fund. If you are young, do your research. I also max out my Roth IRA every year. And yes I definitely enjoy things in my life (concerts, traveling, restaurants, etc.) within reason.
