I'm looking to see what more I can do financially for my age at 28.
INCOME
My gross income 72k (after taxes and tsp)
Maxed Roth IRA
Contribute to tsp $16500/year
EXPENSE/DEBT
My monthly expenses $2000-3000
- $90 cell phone, $50 internet, $160 gas $120 piano lessons, $150 utilities, $100 pet expenses, $250 food, $75 clothes/shoes, $1oo auto-related stuff
- the rest is spent on travel or random purchases from Amazon/Slickdeals
My monthly debts $1300 (mortgage plus student loan)
MY ASSETS
Checking/Savings - $5000
TSP - $75,000
Roth IRA - $57,000
Fidelity Stocks - $25,000
Lending Club $10,000
House - $40,000 equity
Car - $5000
MY DEBTS
Mortgage - $110,000 @ 3%
Student loan $120,000 @6.8%
Before some of you tell me to pay off student loans, I have five more years to work with my agency and the remaining student loans will be forgiven. So I am making the minimum monthly payment of $330 for five more years.
Every month, I have about $1000 - $1500 extra money after all expenses. I am thinking if I should pay my house off early or invest more in fidelity stocks.
