Give your thoughts please.

38, Single, no children
Income: $750,000
Job: Investment Banker
Currently reside in New York
1 House in Massachusetts,penthouse in NY,vacation home in Florida
Lexus RX,and Mercedes Sedan

Net Worth $953,800

Total Savings $521,468 (Roth IRA, Small Investments, Money Market Savings Accounts, TSP (Government version of the 401K)).

Total Debt: $0.00

I was born middle class. I was financially illiterate most of my life, racking up credit card debt of up to $18,000. But strangely enough I always saved money, at one point having about $9,000 in a saving account. It never occurred to me to put the money into something or to pay off the credit card debt. I was never told or taught that. I just paid the minimum credit card balances like my parents told me too.

Finally about 2 years ago I saw this news report about Visa going public. I had no idea what that meant. I thought “who doesn’t know what Visa is? How could they go public?”. Had no idea it was about an IPO. I did some searching and since then I’ve been hooked on investment research. Investment research is one of my biggest hobby’s now.

I’m mad at myself for missing out on so much for being so stupid with my money.

But I paid off all my debt and now pay my credit cards off in full each statement, got an emergency fund, a Roth IRA, company matching on my TSP

So, how am I doing so far?

I’m planning a laser tag fundraiser for my school in Massachusetts, and I need to rent about 150 “guns” for it. Does anyone know where I could rent that many?
