[quote=Anonymous]Here is more information. I make about $115k as an operations analyst. Per month, about $1800 goes into my 401k. My employer match is 3%. My monthly expenses are $2k for college, $2100 rent 1 bedroom/1 bath apartment. I take public transportation and Uber. I already contributed for this years Roth, my first time investing in Roth. I save $250 for emergency expenses. The rest goes into food, Uber rides when needed, utilities etc.  I never really tracked my expenses until now. Never had a financial education not an excuse I had 27 years to learn it and never did so it's my fault.

I did ask for a raise every year for the past year and haven't gotten it. Now I regret not leaving at 46 but I felt too comfortable that I had a relatively secure job. Now at 48 that I am evaluating my life for the next stage I guess I realize I need to make more money especially when I read about people here complaining about making only $200k. I'll read some of the threads about people my age who took the risk and succeeded. If I can get a job making $160k in the next 2 years I'll be really happy. [/quote]
