A 50% savings rate while still paying off student loans isn't exactly typical or necessary. Well I still have some discretionary income I didn't list. It just doesn't make sense to me to see my peers go on lavish vacations on almost a monthly basis and have these big beautiful houses...... And here I am struggling. Bleh... --- ...

The fact that you can afford to have $6,000 in monthly expenditures (half of which are savings and another undisclosed percentage is paying an excess amount on a loan) without being up to your eyeballs in debt is about the most first-world a first-world problem has ever been.
If youre concerned you dont have enough money, stop saving so much right cut - maybe cut the personal investments down to $1,000 until the student loans are paid off. Thats an extra $500 a month for your current living while still saving plenty for the future. With what youre saving, youre going to be able to retire comfortably and do all the traveling and whatever you want while your friends are working until theyre 85. --- All Things Final Fantasy: http://gmo7897.com/s/atff There are some walks you have to take alone. ...

Half of that is investing. Which I really wouldn't consider a living expense. Then nearly half of what's left is your student loans

Once your loans are paid off you can free up a ton of cash flow. Maybe even stop investing temporarily to pay off the student loans asap. --- Do good. Eat communists. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Adding all my monthly bills together (including student loan) lands me below $600. Would definitely be a bit more expensive in a bigger city. Actually I'm looking for my own place to live which would add some $300-400 to that. But all in all the US is nuts. Just move

I mean, you're saving and investing more than some people make. Which isn't bad, good on you. But you're not exactly grinding paycheck to paycheck man. Sounds like your just a little jealous of your friends or co workers who apparently spend most of not all of what they make.
Which is silly. Especially the ones who bought a house they can't really afford. Those people have made themselves significantly poorer for the rest of their life just to have a nice house now. --- "People incapable of guilt usually do have a good time" -Detective Rust Cohle ...

How long until the loans are paid off on this current trajectory? It's a 15 year loan that I refinanced last year. At this rate, it'll be paid off in about 6-7 years. Solid Snake07 posted...

Student loans (overpaying to pay off quicker): $1200
Roth 401k: $1000 Roth IRA: $460 Personal after tax investments: $1500 This is fine, but you will have to live a frugal life. You won't be going on lavish vacations or living in a mansion anytime soon. The question is, do you want to live a frugal life now to be able to retire early and or retire at ~65 and live a wealthy life?
