Small southern town
Confused about dryer sheets
I am working hard, focusing all my energy on educating myself to make smart decisions so I can reach my goal of FIRE 2028.
[mod edit]
I have zero debt; I contribute:
*17% taxes
*22% before taxes to 401K. Will slightly increase this to max of IRS limit soon. YTD ROR is 10.57%. One year ROR is 19%. Account with Fidelity.
*26% to savings account. I want to decrease this by using this money elsewhere to work for me. Of course, leaving emergency fund intact.
*4% to HSA. Will be increasing this in October to meet max contribution next year.
*4.5% to Health and Insurance
*15% to checking account for all expenses
*4% to assist child until graduation
How am I doing? Is FIRE feasible in 2028?
What are your suggestions for investing the cash?
What are good resources to educate yourself for investing?
Any thoughts appreciated.
