I've got a good chunk in my 401k at this point.

About $5,000 in 'savings'.

It's just in my checking account, which gets 4.5% interest, so I leave it all there.

No student debt, nominal (<$100) credit card debt. About 10k in the bank, saving for a down payment on a house (the goal is to throw down on a multi family home). Broke 6 figures this year but cost of living in the Greater Boston area is absurd.

Fuck this game.

Basically this. Having a liquid reserve fund is essential. Your crazy if you don't keep some money set aside for emergencies even while paying down debt.

50% OF your capital gains are taxed (at a rate depending on your tax bracket) the other 50% is tax free.

I'm almost the same age and savings. I put most of my money into paying down mortgage with the option to withdraw it if needed. So it essentially saves me more money than modest investment earns but with zero risk.

My other option was to semi retire and live off the savings while making minimum mortgage payments. I could have lasted 15-20 years.

~$100k saved pretty liquid

I day trade with $50k of it,
keep ~$10k in checking

I don't understand how some keep a zero balance checking account, real life is inconvenient and selling positions off prematurely nullifies strategy
>>
>>1280460
You'd think most if not all day traders that tap into their checking s account for money to trade don't do so because they're in a good financial situation. More than likely they're resorting to using that money to win back their losses.

Anyway, €6000 saved up here. Wish it was more. Alas, shit just hits the fan sometimes.

If I could just dump my inventory for what I paid I could be out of personal credit card debt forever.

I make 105k a year and my wife makes 75k a year.

I recently got the bug of saving money so that 40k is going to be lost soon probably lol.

Wife owns a rental property where rent is twice the mortgage. I may take out a VA loan and buy a house and we will rent this house out too.

I spent 3 hours last night trying to find cheaper car insurance than $108/month.

Life of a Starving Artist D:
>>
Just turned 25. I owe about $7k on my car (Toyota so it will last) and about $35k in student loans. I hate my life. I work a lot and have been paying down debt aggressively since last year. Wiped out about $8k debt since last summer. Will wipe out more in the next year because less interest.

I should have never gone to college. I was a math major. I could handle the work but I hated the environment and was tired of being in school instead of being an adult in the real world. It sucked. I never learned how to do anything or even live.

I'm okay now but I will be working 7 days a week for most of the year so I can pay off my remaining debt in less than 4 years.

I hate debt. I never want to get into debt again except for a more reliable car when this one dies. And Toyota cars just don't die. I don't need a house. I live well below my means and my living expenses are lower than most people in my situation.
