I just broke the 200k net worth line and since I can’t say it to many people I felt like saying it here. I’m proud. I have a mortgage and no more debt. No kids yet but soon. My partner earns around 30k.

    30y/o. E-6 w/9 years TIS. Checking = 16k. HYSA= 25k. TSP = 65k. IRA = 23k. Brokerage = 72k.

    It is also my first year maxing out TSP and IRA. So I will be able to save 30k this year alone. Which makes me realize that my current lifestyle is sustainable with a 55-60k yearly salary.

    Going forward my plan is to keep maxing TSP/IRA as long as I can and to retire from the military in 11 years.

      Do not release this information to anyone you work with. People become jealous over other peopl trying to better themselves.

      I find it curious you didn’t list home equity and mortgage value into your figures. Any reason why? I’m guessing because you’re currently near net zero on it?

      Congrats! I’m right there with you but my husband (he’s a E6 @ 11 years) and I haven’t combined our finances so I’m curious where he’s at. I also have one child.

    4. Congratulations on your accomplishment, but adding those numbers, it’s not over 200k

      Great job! Why so much in checking? Could put it in savings and earn interest
