1. Posters coming in saying 100k income barely lets you live in a mediocre lifestyle in a major metro now even as a single guy no kids. Will never buy a home, have major investments, mostly paycheck to paycheck on this income etc
2. boomer posters that come in with the classic rebuttal “my great grandparents raised all 10 of my grandparents on a single nickel, if you can’t make things work with 100k you need Dave Ramsey”
Well here we go. A poster showing actual numbers in a medium cost of living metro needing 100k in just expenses. Honestly I looked at the budget, there’s a few hundred I could see you knocking off here and there but nothing major

$100k should be enough to raise a family, but in Op case, they need about $250k.

As to the college bit, we have a 529 plan that we contribute a couple K each year to. Will probably be 100K or so when they hit college.

i did the math as well with the 30k vs 45 investment and it seems to lean towards paying mortgage off surpassingly but you have only 60k principal left on your mortgage? Also 7% is typically used as a benchmark for stock market so that changes things to favor the investing early in the shorter term.

One tidbit I will add though is a specific strategy I'm personally going to do. When you leave a job and the 401K needs to be rolled over, you can roll it into a Roth IRA. This isn't theoretically efficient to pay the the tax upfront like that from a math standpoint. But I feel much safer paying the tax upfront because it makes it more liquid so that I won't take the hit later if the government decides to confiscate and I want to leave the country.

I end up with more money in 2051 if I payoff my mortgage and have more income to throw in investments from 2028 onwards, than if I just paid my mortgage off with minimum payments.

250/dollar still sounds right. You start adding meat or any seasonings or sauces or vegetables to your meals your easily going over that 250/dollar. Also add food items that don’t provide calories like coffee or sparking water

I realize it's napkin math with singular annual payments and returns. The reality of the situation is too sophisticated to bother with - most of my savings comes from my bonuses which pay quarterly and one of those quarters is fat. I might put in 20K once a year and a few K a couple other times per year, sporadically. It's pretty hard to compare the two scenarios without going full r3tard in excel.

Mirin OP.
Im 34 as well. I could pay off my mortgage immediately with a lot to spare. But my mortgage is 2.25% and I have all that money invested and making a lot more than 2.25%. So it makes zero sense for me to pay it off immediately.

There’s no way we can tell you what your doing wrong with that pic of the excel sheet
It’s mathematically impossible for the early mortgage payoff to come out ahead. Like saying 2+2 doesn’t equal 4

Someone else ran the numbers as well and got the same result. Like I said it's napkin math though.
