Hi everyone,
It's been a little over 2 years since I discovered/posted on this site. At the time, I was requesting information for my husband and I. After a whirlwind the past couple of years, I am now officially divorced (as of March 2020) and starting over.
I'm revisiting my finances as a part of my journey and want to use this as an opportunity to "get back on track". Based on my current situation, I would love any advice/tips on what I can be doing to help better manage and grow my $$ and honestly, any direction at this point. Sometimes it's hard to see the forest from the trees, but I'm trying. Much like my name, I still dream of retiring, just looks to be a solo endeavor for now.
I appreciate any input! Thank you in advance
Current Situation:
Newly Single/Divorced = 32
Income = $90K (very grateful to still have my job during COVID)
Car = recently paid off
Credit Cards (2) = recently paid off
Student Loan = $28,871.14 left
My 401K = $62K (contribution is 6% pre-tax, 1% roth)
Emergency fund: $5K (for things like new tires, if I need to help a family member, etc.)
Savings for a new home: $13K saved (ex husband has the house so, I'm temporarily living back with my parents and planning to purchase my first home this year still - COVID willing )
Savings account: $15K
