28 need moral/financial support
28F just turned. How am I doing, I feel so behind and have started to become obsessed with saving. 401K: $27k Student loans:$26k, CC: 4k ( I left an 8 year abusive relationship & made bad financial decisions) I make $83k. Live in Los Angeles with parents & I pay for utilities & car insurances $2.5k every six months but still managing to put away $800 per check into 401k. I cannot move due to personal circumstances like providing for my lil brother until he goes to college. I've started tracking every single charge manually in an excel spreadsheet and it's allowed me to start saving pretty quickly. HOWEVER I cannot stop obsessing about retirement as a security net and it's kind of all I think about. How do you balance saving aggressively without getting obsessed and sacrificing your quality of life?
