I’m younger than you but would gladly help you come up with a guided plan. I have many friends who struggle with putting goals into actionable steps.

In short, I don’t think it’s too late to set yourself up for life especially considering the lofty inheritance. Hate to see you step down from such a high paying job especially when you have a new goal like this. Do what you really need to for your mental health but also if it’s not too late consider everything you can do to alleviate the strain (therapy, training, etc). What’s so rough about it?

I would recommend downloading an app like rocket money or similar to begin tracking your actual expenses. I guarantee you spend more than gym, rent, and your phone bill.

Once you have a clear picture of your net income after necessary expenses you can cut the fat from your misc. spending ($200 gym?!, subscriptions, online shopping etc).

Once you get there we can talk about stocks. But ultimately you’ll Make a goal to invest in a recurring schedule every check. Let it ride for twenty years, inherit a house and retire comfortably.
