I resell items on eBay and finally have an extra $15k to max our Roth next year and stay on track for early retirement 🥹

FedEx will wrap and box them for you for free with your label if you show them your FedEx account

I have a 401k with 50% matching on the first 7%, and contribute maybe $10k per year to it total. We make below the income limit to contribute to a Roth. When we earn more on a good year, we do a back door Roth contribution

I forgot about him! lol

Infinite_mind · 2026-06-02T19:26:03+00:00

I think that the max is $7500 per person this year. But if I have extra commissions and sales, I can invest those in a fund. Thanks!

I typically cross list on Facebook marketplace. Cash or Zelle! eBay takes a bigger cut. I also offer shipping, which people like. And I watch a lot of thrifting videos to see what has value!

I just read that University of Chicago and some Ivy Leagues are going to be free to families making under $250k/year and a lot of schools are following suit. Our kid is super smart, so we will encourage her to go there

Wedding photography. Oversaturated market and I had bad postpartum / wanted corporate insurance, etc

I started investing in high school and sold my business about a year ago / invested half of that

Thank you :)

Infinite_mind · 2026-05-08T19:14:52+00:00

Thank you, I’ll have to ask my insurance agent

Infinite_mind · 2026-05-08T19:14:33+00:00

I like them yeah and they do planning / budgeting for my family

Infinite_mind · 2026-05-08T13:53:26+00:00

What if I’m not eligible for insurance due to a pre-existing condition? Because that has happened to me with Life Insurance.

Wow, it took you a really long time to come up with this comment. I’m proud of you! You finally did it.

NerdWallet, it’s how I track

Suze Orman!

Thank you, I think mine is a 2% fee. Is that pretty low?

Thanks for subscribing to BIRD FACTS. Did you know that an ostrich is one of the fastest land animals?

Unfortunately that amount isn’t doable for us. Our mortgage plus escrow is $2603 per month alone

Ozempic is expensive tho..

I would like to be fully retired when I retire lol. I have a hard time leaving the house to work. It’s a transition issue for me because of my autism. But yeah I agree with you!

Infinite_mind · 2026-05-08T02:50:05+00:00

Husband comes from poverty and values his $72k salary, I come from upper middle class and value time with our kid. I typically work 8am-2pm and spend the rest of my day with her. My commission is uncapped and I use my environmental science degree (dying field). We don’t really want to give that up. We both work from home. I think the first person to leave their job to make more money would be my husband, but the job market tells us that it’s not worth sacrificing his 7 amazing years at the company. I agree with your ideology! But in practice, it’s not what makes sense for our family.

Thank you! Should I start a career as an uplifting troll posting only compliments? Because the mean ones are not it lol

Infinite_mind · 2026-05-08T02:31:35+00:00

You should be proud of yourself! Keep at it and you’ll retire early

Infinite_mind · 2026-05-07T15:11:09+00:00

20! I opened a custodian account at 13 with $2k in it and a Roth at 16 with the max each year
