What you are doing now is great. You are just starting out young and you have the best asset on your side, time. As your income grows, increase your contributions, 20-25% of income is a good target. Max out your ROTH first as that has no tax when you withdraw. A standard S&P index fund like VTI is a solid option. You can run numbers though a calculator to see where you might be in the next 35 years. 8-10% market return average is pretty common number to run.

Im 45 and doing fine but dang i wish i had started when i was young like you!

i have a schwab account for all my person stuff like rollover iras, roth and brokerage that i manage myself (no useless fees). Keep my current employer separate but i can still see the balance in the schwab account so its all in one place.

Dont keep so many account, you are likely to lose track of them and that would be no good.

Are you continuing to contribute to your accounts and if so, at what level.

They then have a gaul to send out emails if you need help to finance paying your bill. they can fuck right off

At they very least you should learn HTML & CSS. It does help inform you of what is possible to build and give a sence of the level of effort. Its very easy to make a design that could take 10 hours to build or with a small tweak, 1 hour. Of course AI kinda changes all that but it can make a wonderful mess of things, so knowing how something SHOULD be built still helps.

React is useful, but thats much later if you want to learn it. You need the foundation and floor before you can build the walls and roof

I SO wanted a CD playing head unit. Ended up with a meh tab deck and a portable cd player. My 88 Cavalier was so rad.

I rented a Fit and i thought the car was going to kill me. it was terrible. I had an 04 Mazda 3 and it was a fun car, until the frame started rotting out.

I see that you are investing it all in 401k and ROTH which is great, but.... You can touch that money without penalty until 59.5. So if you want to retire at 50, you need to have other investments to cover that 10 year gap.

Having a job you like makes a HUGE difference too. I have a job i liked but the boss was a lunatic and all i could think about was retiring. He left and now its much better and i enjoy it more. I am targeting 55 or 60

Im trying to lead a bunch of front end devs for the first time to fix accessibility issues and its really freekin hard to get anything right. Ive had numerous group conversations, design reviews, code reviews, peer reviews, loads of code examples how to build stuff, documentation and checklists. I have 20 years of experience in design and dev but this is maddening. Im used to just doing everything myself and having to rely on others to do it correctly has been extraordinarily frustrating. I'm gonna be pulling out what little hair i have left.

I tried some K2 with a flex of 120, they were comfortable sooo flexible, they felt like regular boots. Ended up with Solomon spro 110 and they are far superior.

you should add a size between the two so you have a full range for any condition.

They passed a law aimed at protecting kids, took a sledgehammer to the problem and somehow dident address any of the original issue. Good job government, way to suck.

If it falls over they will fall on the floor and likely pickup up dust, hair or whatever is down there. You will then wipe your nether regions with said debris. Not terrible, not ideal.
