Doing pretty well here myself. Did it hurt to invest so much money in my retirement for years? Yes. But now that I have more bills than before, I lowered my investment percentage. Putting more money in early in my career allowed me that flexibility. Feeling very positive about the future. Next step: Small starter home.
