Do you have an end-game?
Obviously, we are all OE to create a better life for our families, but do you have a target in mind or are you OE as long as you can until you retire?
I started OE with a short(ish) term goal in mind, but now, I feel like as long as these jobs will have me, I wanna forge ahead!
Immediate priority and main ‘target’ is credit card debt free. Once I reach that, I can live ‘comfortably on my lowest J income.’ But now, I’m like okay, after that, I’ll split between a fully funded emergency fund and student loans. Then I’ll split in maxing 401(k)/HSA and beyond.
I’ll use bonuses (after debt is done), for extras (vacation/shopping) but I plan to keep my expenses well underneath lowest J income.
How about you all? What’s your plan?
