[QUOTE="Shiftless, post: 5367620, member: 47472"] I'm a retired driver who virtually spent his whole UPS career as a Feeder Driver. By the time I was 23, I was already in feeder. By the time I turned 49, I was retired!!!!!!!!!!! Been retired 17 plus years! Already you have your head in the right spot! Here is my take: There is no one on this site can answer your question's with absolute precision or with the ultimate correct answer on how to invest, contribute or how you diversify your portfolio for YOUR FUTURE! NO TIME like now to plan and pay attention to the end game. TRUST ME ON THIS: Tomorrow is coming at you like a freight train! I say: Live with in your means. As an example, I cant tell you how many young guys I knew who bought all the new cars, trucks, motorcycles, motorhomes and boats. They bought homes really above their means. They then became slaves to overtime, marriages on the rocks or just flat out failed all with crazy financial stress. They never saw that mental & physical gorilla in the room next door till they were in his grips! DON'T be that guy! Enjoy your life and treat your financial needs as a pie chart in life, be diversified, never lose sight of the retirement end game. As an example when all my buddies were buying new Boats, I bought boats that were within my means and I upgraded along the way. BUT! We all still water skied together, we all still camped together, we ate the same food, and there were no differences in the memories and fun we shared. So their boat was 5 years newer? Big WHOOP! The thing was when that alligator sat in the garage I wasn't making a payment, YET we had all the same experiences other than the smell of a new boat interior! Its this mentality that has served me well. Sure later on I bought big expensive items. It was the mindset of living with in my means that allowed me to invest and speculate where my monies made there best return for me! Bottom line: Congrats on having your head in the game! Your financial endgame is right up there with Family & Health!!!! Pay attention to it, nurture it, as there is no "one size fits all" when it comes to your retirement plan! Good Luck [/QUOTE]
