Good for you, that's how you do it. Just don't take your eye off the ball now. A few more good years and you are set.It is great being 49, condo is paid off, no kids, I make almost $100k and I’m maxing out my 401k AND investing in the stock market. 2000-2008 really sucked for Michigan. The bush Great Recession sent all those good paying manufacturing jobs to China and mexico.Oh for sure. There is a big difference in being 20 with no real responsibilities and no money and being 50 with lots of responsibilities and no money.While money wont buy complete happiness it sure goes a long way to a sense of security.
I mean it's gonna be hard to be happy if you dont know where your next check is going to come from.
