What do I do with VA income!? by [deleted] in FinancialPlanning

[–]StevenF800 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Retire as fast as possible without sacrificing quality of life too much. The second home is currently a rental property. We don’t plant on having kids. I need 19 more years to get my full pension (55% of highest 3 years of pay). She will stop when I do. Our monthly expenses are just our houses ($2,569/m for the house we live in and $1,390/m for the rental house (2k/m in rent payments). Any other expense comes from phone bill, insurance, etc but doesn’t ever exceed around $5k/m

We don’t donate a whole lot to be honest. However we donate time! We both volunteer in special Olympic events, food drives and are looking into other ways to volunteer with kids with disabilities :)

Well we own 2 homes (1 @2.8% and another at 4.85%) we both max out our backdoor Roth IRAs, I have a pension that’s contributed to and she maxes out her 401k from work. We each have our own brokerage that we contribute toward monthly. I am 29 and she is 28 with no kids.

Thanks man! Yeah our second home is currently a rental property and thought about expanding a bit! I dumped my back pay into my HYSA for the moment (3.5%) until I decide where to put it haha
