Another career is daunting for sure, but you are young, so should be able to navigate it fairly well. I wish you all the best with that!
ReplyDeleteYou are doing so fabulous with your retirement accounts. I wish I had had the wherewithal in my 20s and 30s. Once you get to $17,500 is that it? I love meeting a goal - that is one I really want to tackle!
Thank you for your kind wishes. I feel so far behind with retirement savings, like I will never catch up! I hope my income rises in the next few years so I can contribute more to retirement savings while time is still on my side. My goal is to add yearly to my emergency fund. I decided to take it up to $17,500 this year and will probably take it to $20,000 next year. I want to be able to weather a job loss and any major emergency.
