How I doing and what can I improve as I enter my 30s? I'm 29y.o. and finished graduate school last year, where I was responsible for a small tuition payment and high taxes on tuition remission benefits from work, so I don't have as much saved as I'd like. I've been saving a bit more aggressively since then.
- Employed full-time, salary $92K. Earning history: $40-45K 4-8 years ago, $67-72K 1-3 years ago, $92K as of 10 month ago.
- Debt: $10K subsidized student loans at interest rates 3.5-4% (started at $29K). At current payment rate, will be paid off in 3.5 years
- Cash savings: $17K (6 months' expenses) in HYSA. Interest rate 3.1% compounded monthly.
- Retirement account (401k): $40K
- Credit 811
- No car payment (ETA: I own a car that I purchased in cash)
- No significant recurring medical expenses
- Rent an apartment $1300/mo. Hoping to purchase a home in a fairly HCOL area with partner in 5 years
