wait a sec, i think i am confused. you say “max out 401k”…yet the associated # is only $2k.

Did you mean “max out the 401k match”?

b/c the maximum allowable is $15,500 annually.

$44,200? That’s almost a year at UR now. (sad face)

OOPS! Almost forgot to mention the financial goals…the first step towards embracing the future is goal setting. Keep at it…it makes a huge difference down the road. As someone who’s made some missteps along the way, trust me…you’re doing the right thing now to “set the idea” psychologically within your own noggin’. Cheers! ScottsBigMouth

ScottsBigMouth hopes that eventually you end up being happy with your own appearance, and feel comfortable within your own skin. I too suffered from self-image issues when I was younger, and it took ALOT for me to get beyond that. Of course, if plastic surgery ends up being the only way for you to achieve that…so be it. I just hope you give it a LONG LONG TIME before you go there. You’re a cutie babe, and you should embrace it! Cheers, ScottsBigMouth.

If I had a) no debt and b) higher income (or heck, without the debt my income would be higher), my savings goals would probably be something similar. Except the plastic surgery part. My skin doesn’t heal well from anything…so that would just scare me.

My dad had a deviated spetum fixed when I was about 5. I remember suddenly his snoring didn’t shake the house anymore. So that’s a good thing. :)
