I’m a 2 percenter. Woohoo. I am about to fall into the next group this year.

That's great and all......but you may want to consider keeping that on the "down low" when you can. Not meant to be a bash at all.....If I were one, I would have saved and invested like a maniac....and would have retired way earlier than I did.

Always looking for advice from those who have walked the parts or life I haven’t. So no offense taken. I have a decent retirement plan going. Luckily, my employer matches 10 percent. But yes. I need to start working on a roth. I should have been because I have a feeling our taxes are going up. The pretax stuff is great until I’m paying a fortune later. A few years ago I stared a s&p 500 and did some individual stocks this summer (which is stressful). I ended up doing very good but I was studying the market every day. That wasn’t worth the stress to me. I think a nice and safe Roth will be my next project I start looking into when I get bored. Which will be very soon I’m sure.

I’m starting to agree and not share my age. But my username makes it pretty clear. I’m quite different than the rest of my age group. From what I can tell I’ll fit right into this forum.

Welcome Jon. No need to apologize for your age and successes. Glad to have you here. Everyone walks a different path.

Yeah, and some people are smart enough to start walking in the right direction earlier in life than some of us.

Unlike me, I decided to crawl through some stupid shyt before waking up and doing something smart...

Depends on his financial situation, I got one when I was 23 in medical school. No student loans, saved up cash in hs/college working, college fund basically turned into a mutual fund that is growing every day with monthly contributions.

Now I'm 26, with no debt out of undergrad(in-state + scholarships + living at home) and medical school(college fund paid for this + shared apartment)

"College" fund still has more than 65% of what I had initially turned over to an aggressive mutual fund.

Who knows maybe he has all of this and a house, investments, etc etc etc

Hard to judge on the internet lol.

Started my first job in 7th grade. Worked throughout school some 50 hr weeks on top of full time college. Finished college in 2.5 years (after high school) with a bachelor’s. Did one year of college in high school which they paid for in full. I had many scholarships as well. It’s doable at our age. I did finance some of the car. But do plan on paying it off in 2.5 years from purchase date. 15 year on the house. Since I’ll have the house paid off so early that’ll help with retirement. Congrats on the medical degree. That’s a no for me. I have a hard time sitting in the class room. The wife tells me i have adhd. I tell her I use it to my advantage.

I leased mine, sold it to a local dealer instead of turning it in and made ton of money.

Medicine was not my first choice, out of hs I autoqual'd for a s/o contract(navy seals) but after some convincing by my parents went to college, took a shot again as an officer and essentially got denied due to an ultra competitive year... was offered enlisted seal contract again but I took my shot at medical school and got in.

Believe me, I can't sit still either, rather be moving all the time but I just focused up and made it as painless as possible.

It will be quite a few years Before I get paid the big bucks but while my peers and colleagues are deeply in debt and stressed because of the schools they went to I'm relaxing here just shopping for my next car.
