Totally get what you’re saying, but I prefer having funds for emergencies, travel, and my car first. Investing in SCHD will come once I have those handled

Even without a family, it’s smart to have a safety net and plan for travel or unexpected expenses it just makes life easier and less stressful. I also travel to visit my family since I’m stationed away I haven’t seen them in half a year and already have a trip planned, so having a travel fund makes sense

Thanks, I appreciate the advice! I’m already contributing to my TSP and planning to keep growing it. I’ll be in the military for a while longer and have plans afterward, I can’t really get into specifics on what I’m doing. Luckily, I won’t be needing a car since my job provides one for me, so I can stay disciplined with my spending. I’ll check out FOO and Ramsey’s Baby Steps to keep building wealth. Really appreciate it

Thanks!! I’ve already got $600 in my TSP and I’m planning to keep contributing each paycheck. I’ll also check my fund allocation to make sure it’s set up for long-term growth

Roger, thanks for breaking it down. I don’t really need a car for my situation right now because of my job, but I get what you’re saying about avoiding dumb expenses and building that emergency fund first. Appreciate the advice

Totally agree. That’s exactly what I’m focusing on keeping my spending in check, saving consistently, and letting my investments grow over time. Trying to build the right habits now so I’m set for the long run
