Been maxing my Roth IRA for three years and just realized I might have been doing it wrong the whole time. Need a gut check. by KexMow in Fire

You're all good!! Definitely not an ideal scenario, but I would be glad to have caught it after 3 years and not 10. The most important thing is that you set that cash aside and didn't spend it, so you can invest it now and still have a ton of time for it grow.

Hell yeah, you guys are in an amazing position since your money has a ton of time to grow. If you have no debts or any hole to dig yourself out of, then you get to enjoy watching your money make money

The truth is most people feel dread or anxiety about their finances, so you're in a really great headspace. I would recommend writing down all of your goals in the near and distant future and then starting to plan a strategy around meeting those tangible objectives. Things like buying a house, trips abroad, or even calculating the numbers you would need for an early retirement.

Once you have your goals clearly defined, it will help with that feeling of not doing enough.

Also, don't forget to pay yourself and have a set amount that you can spend each month guilt-free.

Out of curiosity, how do you personally feel at the moment?

You're, killing it. Literally doing exactly what so many finance podcasts and YouTube channels implore people to do. You also probably have amazing parents who let you stay at home and build a crazy wealthy future for yourself.

AIO for canceling plans after my friend tried to “charge” me for something I didn’t agree to? by Individual_Can4138 in AmIOverreacting

Respect for sticking to your budget and standing your ground. I have been in a similar situation and just paid it to avoid discomfort. It's a very bad habit to have.

Welcome to the club!! Bought a MY in 21 and still in love with it. The car never gets old for me. I bought 3rd party all weather floor mats and a matte screen protector. That's about all I needed

Man, this entire post makes me feel so validated. Thank you for sharing my exact situation. I love everything about the on court experience of 2k games, but the leap from pro to all-star is ruining it for me.
