Specific Points:
I feel like I'm doing a good job saving. I have $27,000 total into my 401(k) per year. I'd like to boost things and bring my savings rate up to near 50%. I don't have much in taxable accounts and feel that I need to boost saving in that area as I won't be able to touch the 401(k) until age 59.5. I just started house hacking my guest house and hope to scale it to at least cover my monthly PIIT on the house(I consider this house hack my "financial runway").
My goal is to hit FIRE at 45 (13 years), but am open to any suggestions as to speed things up.
What do you guys think? Am I missing opportunities that I should be taking advantage of? How do I get there faster?
