Currently live in Erie PA, but moving to Cleveland Oh to start first real job. I am just finishing up my masters in Computer and Information Sciences, and my job is related to my field (48k).
I guess I am just kinda lost for how I should approach everything. I got bout 5k in savings, 2.5k in a liquid checking acct (use for monthly expenses and everyday things). My internship lets me save a little (bout 100$ a week into savings) which will end in December when I start to pull my real salary in.
What should I do? I might rent a year before buying a starter home to sell in 3-5 yrs. Or Do i just go for home now with the same plan? I have no debt, and own a car. Do I try to shoot for max 401k contrib (15k a year or whatever) or Do i invest in something else? My main concern is, over investing for retirement at the cost of being able to sustain current life, but I also want to try to retire at 45-50 (24 now) with a decent retirement.
Anymore needed let me know, but I am glad I found this board, seems like it will be helpful!
