Hey thanks for reading this over. I appreciate it greatly.
I’ve just gotten into investing and smart financial planning. I have a safety net of about 1k (very low monthly expenses) as well as a betterment account of about 3k in a 90/10 split. In September I’m going to be eligible to open a 401k with my company and they’ll 100% match up to 4%.
I’m looking to buy a house late 2020. I’m deploying with the army the first 10 months of next year. I’m trying to figure out how to do my finances to optimize my home buying ability when I get back. I expect to make 50k during those 10 months untaxed. My current w-2 job is 40k a year.
I’m trying to figure out if I should stick with betterment. I’m trying to figure out if I should put more than 4% in the 401k. I’m also trying to figure out what military options I have. But overall I’m looking to buy a house (250-325k range regardless of basic financial investing. Any thoughts and opinions are appreciated.
