Paid Off My House at 36, Now Unsure About Retirement Savings! 😰🏡

Hey everyone, I’m feeling a bit lost and could really use your advice. I managed to pay off my house in just six years, and now at 36, I’m putting 26% of every paycheck into retirement—10% into my pension and 16% into an optional retirement plan. But I keep wondering, is this too much? Some coworkers say I should open another account like a Roth IRA, but I’m worried that might be overkill. I also started a personal brokerage account, putting in at least $500 a month, sometimes more. With all these contributions, I can’t help but stress if I’m making the right moves or just tying up too much money I can’t touch for decades. Work is stressful enough, and now I’m second-guessing my financial planning. Should I keep increasing my retirement savings, or is there a smarter way to balance everything? Would love to hear your thoughts! 🤔💸 #JobCareer #Career #RetirementPlanning

Burnt Out at 57: Can I Afford to Retire With My Husband's Health Worries? 😩

I’m 57 and completely exhausted from my job. I’ve worked hard for decades, but lately, the stress just feels overwhelming. My husband and I have saved up: $1.2M in my 401k, $600k in brokerage, $300k in an IRA, $32k in an HSA, and $60k in cash. We own our home in Texas outright, with only a car loan left. Our annual expenses are about $100k, and we make $20k a year from our Airbnb. The biggest worry on my mind is healthcare—my husband is in remission from cancer, but his medication is extremely expensive. I’m terrified of what will happen if we lose our coverage, and I have no idea how good or affordable the ACA is here. I’m so burnt out, but the thought of finding another job is just too much. Has anyone else been in this situation? I’d really appreciate any advice or encouragement. 🙏 #JobCareer #Career #RetirementPlanning

Should I Retire at 31 With $8M? My Family Thinks I'm Crazy! 😰💸

Hey everyone, I’m really struggling with a huge decision and could use some advice. I’m 31, and after working as a software engineer for years, I’ve managed to save up about $8 million after taxes, mostly from company stock. I don’t own a house yet, but I’m hoping to buy one in a pricey area like Mountain View or Palo Alto for around $4 million. Here’s the catch: I’m the only breadwinner, with a young child and another on the way. My wife is worried that retiring now is way too risky, especially since she enjoys a pretty luxurious lifestyle—think $100-200k a year on cars and designer stuff. I’m exhausted from the constant pressure at work and just want to spend more time with my family, but I’m scared of making the wrong move. Can we really live comfortably off the remaining $4 million, or am I being unrealistic? I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences. I feel so lost right now. 😟 #JobCareer #Career #RetirementPlanning
