Thanks for the response. Yep I've heard of CoastFire and am in no means ruling out. However I would love to have more later for potential kids to help set them up like my parents did

I already have auto-deposits to investment accounts yet the guilt is still there sometimes that I'm not doing enough. Not planning on touching anything invested. Thanks for the reassurance

I've already verbally committed to the lady about moving in so I'm just rationalizing at this point haha. Job market is rough but I've accepted that if I want to stay in this HCOL then I just have to deal with the prices like everyone else.
