@_girllockin: I increased my 401(k) contributions from 12% to 15%, and whew… I FELT IT. 😭 That extra 3% made a difference in my paycheck, but I’m reminding myself that I’m sacrificing a little today to give my future self more financial freedom. Building wealth isn’t always comfortable, but it’s worth it. 🤎 #401k #InvestingJourney #BuildingWealth #GirlLockIn Budget with me: http://budget.everydollar.com/girllockin

You are doing amazing!!! So many people don’t prioritize saving while young and then have to scrape to catch up or live a very restrictive retirement. You are so smart to always pay yourself first.

Theoretically, I recommend 20% overall saving and investing. With $40K with atleast $100k and a single mother. You are a ROCK STAR!
Have you calculated your net worth?

Dang, I might do that for next year. I’m currently at 5% so I should be at 9% next year with the 5% match.

I was going to do this and scared for this exact reason. Instead I decided to put an extra 1% into an index fund. We will see how it goes.
