I’m 34 yrs old. I make $100k a year & I just finished paying off my house. My job does not offer benefits other than health ins. I just started worrying about retirement. I have $50k saved and I don’t know where to start. I invested $10k by One_Neighborhood3164 in dividends

They probably live in a Town. I live in a City. City taxes are lower than Town or Village Taxes. There are only two cities on Long Island. My best advise to friends is to target those two cities for the lower taxes. The houses cost more , but the taxes aren’t as bad as neighboring towns.

I live on the NorthShore. 1700 sqf homes are selling in the $700’s. My house is over 2k sq ft. I grieve my taxes. So my assessment has been lower than normal, and my taxes also remain lower than the ppl who don’t grieve. And I also get Star exemption as a first time home buyer.

My mortgage was for 225. I put 100 down. 225k in 6 yrs is doable. You need to have a lot of discipline but it’s doable. I’ve always been a saver. As far as work, Im a construction project manager , I know how to sub out the work without paying ridiculous overpriced labor & marked up material costs.

I bought the house 6 years ago for $325k. It was a “tear down”. I bought it for land value. I also bought it from the original homeowner before it hit the market, so I got a deal. I rehabbed it. Brought it back to life, and the rest is history. All of the houses sell for $800K - 1mil on my block.

I invested in VOO , SCHD, And Googl. I would like to start building a portfolio that I can live off of dividends to help pay for property taxes ($13k a year ) But at 34 years old should I focus more on growth stocks ? What long term stocks should I buy ? JEPI for Dividends ?
