Hi,
I've been lurking on this forum for a while and thought I'd finally join. I'm a 29 yr old, hoping for an early retirement of ~ 50. In reality I like my job, so I'm not sure I'll actually retire (I know, I know, thing's change when you get older).
Here's a quick summary of my savings/plan:
401k accounts: $115k
Taxable Accounts: $24k
Home Equity: ~$70-80k
Annual 401k contributions: $15.5k (includes employer match)
Taxable Annual Savings: $13k.
I'm working to build up some more savings, and pay off my student loan debt (only 1 loan left!). After that's paid off I'll focus on stashing the additional cash away in taxable / non-taxable accounts.
I'm starting to change my investment strategy from being focused on equity growth, to focusing more on good dividend paying stocks.
