Just a little background. I'm trying to plan my financial goals for the next 10 years or so. I worked a few random jobs here and there durring high-school but after high-school I landed a job with my county government doing construction. I made a personal decision not to go to college despite graduating with 4.0 honor roll. I knew it would make my life harder but was willing to take that gamble. I've been at the county for 2.5 years now and have gotten promoted once already. We don't work off of contracts so I'm guaranteed 40 hours a week and I will have a job forever if I don't leave. My yearly was about 28k when I started and it's 32k now. I get a lot of overtime though so I estimate it's actually around 35k. I have full benefits, health, dental, insurance, a 401k and pension. I've stayed at this job because nothing better has presented itself yet. I know without college it would be harder to find good jobs as fast. But I am 21 and was just wondering what some more expirenced people think about my situation. My rent is 800 a month. And my bills monthly are about 1100 total a month including rent. And if there's any tips that could help me improve. Thank you
