Either way, congrats. It's a lot of money to pay back but seems to have provided you with a great career.

Those fed loans are a real pain in the ass at 7.2 percent.

I went them a private bank and re did them once I had my office paid for and got the rate a lot lower.

I would recommend paying as much as you can towards the debt repayment as you can. Don’t forget about retirement obviously, but getting out from under that will help alot

Congrats Hamas by the way.

And this is basically it. Don't pass up any free money so do the minimum contribution to get all the free money, so 5%.

After that, tackle debt. If you have any credit card debt, I'd start there. After that, work on the student loans and possibly refinancing them to a lower rate if you're able (not sure what you're paying).

I had $60k debt after my schooling so I only contributed 4-6% to my 401k (to get the entire free match) until I paid off my student loans last year. Now I do 12% to my 401k and it's barely noticeable out of my take-home with the loans now gone, even leaving money left over to contribute to a ROTH IRA each month.

Hopefully your employer offers cost effective index funds for your retirement plan. I am invested in only Index funds alone in my 401k (Large, small and foreign). Many companies finally offer low cost index funds, but there are still some hold-overs of employers who offer expensive and less than ideal retirement funds. Let us know your choices when you get that info.

I wish every day could be like today.

If we had 26 straight days like today, I could retire at my current quality of life. If we has 40 straight days like today, I'd live a life of leisure and semi-luxury. If we had a year of days like this, I'd buy the Chiefs and make fun of Bill Gates' cheap wardrobe.

You enjoy this and give pretty solid advice. Ever think of taking CPA classes and hanging up a shingle on the weekends as a CFP?

Hey not a bad thought!

For now if I want to make extra money, I'm doing the hourly therapy gig at a different building if they need help. Since it's PRN work, the pay is very good and I just tell them how many hours I can help on that day. Like tomorrow I'll go down the road to a different facility for about 90 minutes of work after my normal job. For me right now, time is money, so if I am going to do something outside of work, I want it to pay well.

But I do understand the thought of doing something totally unrelated for a second job and how that can be rewarding as well. You never know what the future may bring!

FWIW, CPA and CFP have virtually nothing to do with each other.

CPA = Certified Public Accountant
CFP = Certified Financial Planner

The similarities end with requiring certification and continuing education, the similarities pretty much end there.

Becoming a full on CFP would be a massive undertaking. Meaning He would have to take a ****load of courses, the exam, and work under a CFP for a really long time.

This would be a full on career change.

That being said, many "financial planners" aren't certified. Most ****nuts Series 5, 6, or 7 certifications so they can sell bullshit ass products for bullshit ass companies.

I don't know if there are any other certifications out there, but I wouldn't recommend going the full CFP route.

Well, I ended that year down 5.8 percent. But before you laugh at me, I apparently beat the S&P 500.
