Retirement 401k
I’m turning 37 this year. After 12 years in the military, 6 active duty and 6 guard. After getting out of active duty i pursue a career in aviation. It sucked for a while, finally got hired a major airline end of 2022 started to save toward retirement. Currently 295k in my 401k but I still feel like I’m behind. Our 401k allow self management. I took a bold move during trump first market crash, moved 84k into self managed and left the rest in funds. Been weekly trading for profits and not hold. 2024 - 84k 2025 - 130k 2026 - as of today 192k. I feel like there a better method with trading. We can’t buy options. I usually trade 30-50k at a time, my goal is usually 1k profit per day. There are days I definitely could have made more but seem like when I chase I get burn. What can I be doing better? Honestly this is just a job and i prefer to spend time with my dogs. How can I get there?
