Hello,
I've just started a new job and want to kick off my mustachian savings the right way. After deductions for 401k and insurance, I'll be making about $3,100 net per month. My employer contributes 8% between my 401a and 401k accounts, and I'm set up to contribute 2% to the 401k (I'm making 53k/year).
I'm hesitant to increase my 401k deduction because you can't access this money until you're 59 1/2. I'm 25 now and hoping to retire by 45 at the very latest. I currently will have at least $1,500 to save per month (and hopefully more once I cut back on some things).
What other sorts of investment options are there that will work for someone who wants to retire between 40-45?
