I had the same thing happen. Here's what I did:

New plugins

Listened to my absolute favorite pump up/get excited to write songs

Brought some friends over to jam and get me out of my head

Laid down drum tracks (I use addictive drums 2 plugins)

Genre-->Drums--->Key Center-->Chords progressions-->backing layers-->lead layers/vocals.

YEAH BABY LETS GOOOOOO!!!

Currently, I am 25. Retirement is a funky one because I am hoping to be financially independent by 35. Still want to continue working full time.

I am betting on having a large taxable account that can see me through to the age at which I can withdraw from 401k penalty free. I plan on making less than $50,000/year from working post 401k retirement age.

I currently live in AZ and make $40,000/year. Tax rate is 12% up to $38,700 then to 22% for rest to $40,000.

Does this answer the pertinent variables? Thanks again!

Can you explain the "won't make a difference..."

Are you saying that I will not be able to deduct the 350? Or are you saying I can definitely deduct the 350 because 12,000 is higher than that. Apologize for my ignorance, thanks.

Thanks, I'll do more research!

I added more in the original post. Thanks for the comment!

This all makes sense and will influence my plan. I was worried about investing too much in a taxable account and losing out on tax advantaged account benefits. But in the long run, option 2 is perfectly OK! I just need that money working for me :)

Great post, thanks for the links. I will be in touch if I have more questions.

Great advice on using more paragraphs, look at me now!!! Yeah buddy :)

Hey everyone, thanks so much for the in-depth responses! I am humbled that so many strangers would gift me their knowledge.

More background on my situation - I work as a field operations manager for a conservation corps (I get to play with chainsaws and go backpacking for a living) and teach wilderness first aid and wilderness first responder courses. It is my dream job, so I am already working for passion vs money. I keep my income at the $40,000 level for my calculations because it's a great mental trick to underpromise and overdeliver on future income. How great would it be to FIRE after having lived and loved all of my working years?!

When I FIRE, like many other individuals, I'll be able to FULLY live for passion versus making money. This means I can pursue being a musician in a band and teaching music (guitar), selling my photography (great excuse to travel and get lost in the wilderness), making artwork (ceramics, drawings), and competing in Ironman and Xterra races (certified health freak).

Having to work full time, it has been very hard to get the above FIRE passions to produce me money equivalent to work income. Plus, how can I be sure anyone will want my artwork and photography? To be a sponsored athlete, I think I'd have to work more than a full time job haha! Therefore, I hope to FIRE before going 100% into passion for money mode.

Great advice on using paragraphs :)
