Not much to celebrate yet, but excited to take the step. Opened a Roth IRA via Vanguard and chose to put 3k into their Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund Investor Shares. I will definitely top it off to the full 5.5k quickly and max it out for the rest of my life. I just turned 27, so not a young pup, but I still hope it ends up doing quite well for me over the next 35 years.
Any key advice on vanguard? Did i pick a solid fund and should just relax and sit back and max it out forever? Is there anything I should know?
I live in Maine and its FINALLY getting warm out. I haven't had a bike since i was a kid/Teenager. Going to buy one in the coming weeks.
Paid off car - Check
Zero CC debt - Check
Opened Roth - Check
Buy a bike - Coming soon.
Assets - Car 7k, Cash 23k, IRA 3k, Debts - Student loans - 35k
I think Im in good shape continuing my quest to be more Mustachian.
Thanks to everyone on the blog for keeping me motivated! Cheers to Roth IRA's.
