Just some background on me and my current situation:
-24yr old E-3 Air Force.
-No debt.
-About to get married in April. (No kids yet.)
-Investing 15% in my Roth TSP.
-Recently opened a Roth IRA with Vanguard.
-Combining all my money from my bank accounts, I have little over $10,000 saved.
-I drive an old 2005 Taurus. I know it’s not the flashiest thing to drive but it gets me from A to B.
-I live a pretty content and introverted lifestyle. I don’t do typical things military guys do like drink frequently, smoke, go to clubs, or anything like that. About to start school back up to work towards my degree and possibly commission. I’d like to say I’d see myself doing the 20+ years, but I guess it’s too early to tell.
Based on what I’ve shared, how does all this sound? Am I doing well? Should I be investing more in my TSP and/or my IRA? Any other tips as far as investing/ saving money? I just want to make the most out of being in the military financially and in general.
