My singular focus right now as a “Millennial” is to save enough before 40 to retire if I choose to and, at the same time, figure out how to become self sufficient so that I am not reliant on someone else for income by 35.
Effectively I want to “retire” from having a “job” working for someone else long before I “retire” from earning income.
Look into index funds and Bogle heads lazy portfolio. There are communities dedicated to financial independence (FIRE) on the internet that can help you with these goals.
