27 year old looking for advice. What should I be doing with my money?
27 years old
live in CA, bay area poker income ~175k/year (plus or minus 50k) rent, $950/month additional spending ~2500/month no debt Here is what I am currently doing with my money. I feel like I could be doing so much better, but I don't know anything. Retirement: 5k in roth ira 24k in sep ira, invested in Fidelity "freedom 2045" retirement fund Investments: 32k in SP500 index 12k in an international index 7k loaned out on prosper Liquid: 22k in cash 2500 in 0% interest checking 70k on poker sites 50k in 5% savings account I only need about 30k on poker sites to be comfortable. I use the cash for live play. So that leaves 40k there that needs to go somewhere. Anyway, I would like to hear what more experienced people would do in my situation. I would like to hear all sorts of suggestions. I have a medium risk tolerance. I think real estate and renting out property sounds like it would be interesting. However, given where I live it seems to me that this isn't a smart thing to do. A goal for me would be to have the option of retiring at 35. |

Looks like your doing perfect. You are already saving plenty in your roth and SEP IRA. You will be rich whenever you decide to retire.

You realize you don't qualify to invest in a Roth given your income, right?

Start buying rental real estate. Something with break even or positve cash flow. In 10 years you'll have a lot of equity built up in the property from someone else paying down your mortgages (and increases value of the house) and if you have positve cash flow you'll have extra $$ coming in every month in the mean time.
