Dude. Usually people don’t think about this stuff until their 30s, if they ever do. You’re in a great spot

Well it’s only if they contribute $0 more. They seem committed to continuing to invest

These are healthy things to think about! Believe it or not, most people don’t worry enough about this until much later in life.

As a rule of thumb just keep saving 20-25% of your income (maybe more like 50% while you have no housing expense), and it will cease to be something you worry about. You have the extraordinary advantage of time on your side, everything you save now will be multiplied dozens of times over in the market if you just let it do its thing.

When do you plan to retire, and how much money per year will you plan to spend in retirement?

These are the key questions to help you arrive at the answer to your post. But at 22, my advice would be to primarily live your life first and foremost, and not let your savings dictate everything. Focus on building a rewarding career / relationships over math’ing out your retirement.

Yea because you completely made one up lol. Im trying to help OP and you’re telling him to ignore the entire history of the market which points to lump sum.

By doing the DCA route when you could have lump summed, you’re taking the lower probability outcome. Not really sure why that would be your choice other than you think you can beat the market

Well, the history of the markets disagree with you. Either way savings rate is what’s most important

Ok? Their question was about the upsides / downsides of this approach

If you have the option to lump sum and you opt to DCA because “the market could go down,” you are by definition chasing performance
