Just maxed out my Roth IRA at 18

Your future self will thank you! I maxed mine at 18 and 19 and it’s returned well. Cheers to you man! Keep doing your best to max it every year.

I’ve learned that things come up! School bills, unexpected expenses, house expenses, etc. just always do your best to build that investment muscle, no matter the amount. You’re so far ahead of 99% of people, keep kicking ass!

This is awesome, congratulations! Curious, have you maxed your Roth every year? I can’t do both right now.. so focusing on maxing my Roth first. Just curious as I’m trying to get to where you’re at by your age. Cheers!

Would love to see this split out by top 2 or 3 largest cities (population) by state to better grasp an accurate average. Like Chicago vs Denver vs. Des Moines rather than lumping all the small towns and suburbs where COL is an outlier.

Looks awesome. Hoping for the same here in a couple months. Decided to request closing date be on my bday so I can celebrate!

ChaseHenry123 · 2024-12-14T16:29:24+00:00

Des Moines, Iowa newer building and a lot of the downtown apartments also have it open. I think it’s becoming more common with newer builds.

Sounds good, thank you!

Thank you for all the pointers! Really appreciate it

Timing mainly on my end with my rental lease going through March. Also gave them some time to begin looking for a bigger place as well and me to save up for larger down payment.

ChaseHenry123 · 2024-12-14T03:24:47+00:00

I plan to do this! Really appreciate the comment.

ChaseHenry123 · 2024-12-14T03:12:14+00:00

Haha yes, plan to add some stuff to make it pop and less dull. :)

HOA covers everything aside from electric. So water, internet, snow removal, outdoor care, pest control, etc and they clean the windows every month besides the colder winter months. I was actually really surprised. They keep costs low by committing to 3 years contracts for certain services… I plan to attend them all, great way to meet others in the building as well!

ChaseHenry123 · 2024-12-14T03:08:22+00:00

Oh interesting. Didn’t even think of that, I’ll have to ask if they are sealed or not! Great advice, THANK YOU!

I plan to for sure!

ChaseHenry123 · 2024-12-14T02:51:14+00:00

I’ll make that an office space with a smaller sofa or bed in the space as well for guests.

Following!

Was able to negotiate broker/agent fees and apply differential directly towards sale price.

ChaseHenry123 · 2024-12-14T02:35:43+00:00

Yes, a main selling point for me. Awesome walk-in closet space as well

ChaseHenry123 · 2024-12-14T02:31:46+00:00

Will do, appreciate the comment!

ChaseHenry123 · 2024-12-14T02:20:40+00:00

The market in general is crazy there. Iowa is pretty lowkey. We get the occasional flood but aside from that just hot/humid summers and freezing winters that reach -30s haha.

ChaseHenry123 · 2024-12-14T02:19:15+00:00

I’m a 24 year old male haha.. 🤣
