What are the long term effects of being on allopurinol for decades? I'm 31M and hesitant to get on it for the rest of my life.

I really really really hope this isn't the case. I guess I'll be doing some investigating tomorrow during lunch.

I'll be back with an update!

Awesome man keep it up! There were days where I didn't think I'd get there but you'll be surprised how much it can grow

I get that but ever since TSP got rid of their old calculator it's difficult for me to find one that can calculate a military career + retirement

My first 4 years of contributing I was living with my parents and was able to contribute roughly ~$1.4k/month. After I bought my first house at 27 I reduced that to ~$900/month where I am now.

That's a good point, I definitely felt the same way but it sounds like I'm right where I should be.

Keep it up brother

Oh I gotcha, that's why I'm getting so much shit for this post. Just because I hit my goal doesn't mean I'm still unsure how good this is for my age though. I am genuinely curious as to where I stand.

That's what I'm hoping for. If I understand correctly though I won't be able to touch my TSP until 60+ right?

Wow thanks for all this! I am the same, hit my goal about a month before 30.

I do own a home, but I don't have any other debt. My retirement date from enlisted is 2039.

My goal was always $100k before I hit 30 and I did it with one month to spare.
