Roth 401k through my employer, and a Roth IRA, and I&#8217;m fortunate to have a pension as well. With my 401 and my Roth IRA I&#8217;m at just over $300,000. I&#8217;m currently saving 9% before tax, and 6 after tax in my Roth 401k. As far as my stand alone Roth IRA I&#8217;m saving $ 200.00\/month. With my pension I&#8217;m eligible to retire at 100% at 59. I had a preliminary plan of retiring at 60. However, I&#8217;m seeing too many financial experts saying that retiring at that age is a mistake. I&#8217;m so confused. Is retirement at 60 a crazy dream, is it even possible, or should I work till 65, 70. I feel like I&#8217;m doing the right thing&#8230;but this is so confusing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>QUESTION 2<\/strong><br>What do you recommend for cell phone plans?..

The pandemic opened my eyes like everyone else so I&#8217;m kicking my butt and working the 2 jobs to get myself out and secure. I&#8217;m starting to lose energy and although still motivated, I feel myself slowing down. I would appreciate any kind of encouragement\/advice on how you kept\/are keeping the momentum during your grind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>QUESTION 5<\/strong><br>Anybody know how to sell China and glassware? We are almost done with baby step 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>QUESTION 6<\/strong><br>How did you decide how much to save in your emergency fund within the 3-6 month parameters? I don\u2019t have a volatile job, my goal is 6 months. I\u2019m mostly curious how everyone came to the decision of how much was enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>**This post may contain affiliate links, and we may be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on the affiliate and\/or partner links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-d89c2b32-593b-49da-b998-d9f0222aa603\"><strong>Sponsored by Choice Realty Connect :<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/choicerealtyconnect.com\/\"><strong> https:\/\/choicerealtyconnect.com\/<\/strong><\/a> when you are wanting to buy or sell a home, condo or any type of property.
