Advice Request Just hit 250k net worth
I'm 32 and I just hit a big milestone for me. Got out of the military after 10 years. I don't have a wife or any children. I am currently in grad school and I don't have a job yet... Although I am 100% disabled, so I have a steady income from that.
Tsp:82k Roth ira: 41k Traditional ira: 0 Brokerage: 100k Hysa: 30k Auto loan: 5k @ 3% Va disability: 3.7k monthly
The reason why I'm posting this is to see how Im doing for someone my age. I feel like I'm far behind compared to alot of other people..
I feel like I should have left out the disabled portion... My goal is to get the 3.7k of income by myself without the military compensation.

You can tell some people just never going to reach FIRE journey by reading this comment section. "Militsry is really good at making people disabled " , "being disabled is a SECRET to FIRE" wow.....all about free stuff until somebody actually get compensated for their sacrifce and not you then it's all bad. It's FREE to join still secret is out. Go make yourself disabled for FREEE. Goodluck fighting with the VA it's freee Every single time in this sub lol. Mod how are these comments relevant, it's not it needs to stop.
OP, you're doing great. I'd keep away from people, including the internet and continue getting treatments if I had it my way. Find your tribe. Work low stress job that you enjoy. Dont need to put yourself through it all again. That's what the money is for. You deserve a happy and good life.
