Hi, happy to be here. Saving like a mad man

Hey all,

Very happy to come across this forum. I've been saving my max IRA and 401(k) limits basically since graduating college. I finally repaid all of my $60,000 of student loans. Now to crush after-tax savings. I'm looking to buy my first income property this year. I'm 30.

Congrats! Well-done at your age! After the 401(k), try to fill up the ROTH IRA bucket first...keep killing it!

I didn't start seriously saving until I was 33, so you have a good head-start on me (and I didn't start out saving the max allowed for 401(k). You could easily retire by 45, I'm guessing!

+1. I bought my first house at 30 and was 35 before I got the ball rolling on meaningful savings.
