You're doing well. Agree on paying off cars. That's also my weakness. However, last few cars have been CPO, 1 year old, so just like new but without the new price tag.
Your mtg is very manageable.
I read your other posts. If you don't mind me asking, Where are you getting RE deals like that in this climate?

Could you expand on your yearly contributions to your 401k, IRA #2 and ESOP?
It looks like you have pretty good control and are on track. I agree, get those cars paid off and continue saving for long term needs (investing).
Thank you
401k annual contribution is 8% with 50% match - comes out to max contribution per IRS limits
IRA #1 - vanguard target retirement IRA
IRA #2 - this was an IRA I started back in Dec 14 when OIL was at a 7-10 year low. I bought 100% into OIL and its been down since. I havent touched it since I don't want to lose 50% invested. Not currently investing into this, adding into IRA #1.
ESOP - there is no contribution for this, my company offers this as a retirement benefit. Basically when I hit a specific age I get a 1 time disbursement of funds based on the company's appraised value - in about 30 years

Thoughts please , 29 years old
6 months emergency fund in cash , some months can float all the way up to 12 months as I am in commission sales.
Ideally I like having at least $50k cash reserves.
15x income term life insurance policy
no credit card debt , wife has small student loan debt
mortgage - 1.5x income
2x auto loans totals to $46k ($29k / $16k) - this is my weakness.
debt to income: 21% including mortgage
other details
- 401k @ 8% with 50% match from company
- IRA #1 @ $4,500 contribution annual (vanguard retirement index fund)
- IRA #2 invested 100% in oil , not contributing
- ESOP - employee stock ownership program, this costs me nothing
- 2x 529 accounts - $150 invested each month, into each account. 14 years / 16 years until college.
- stock portfolio - 90% SPY / 10% IYR on auto invest - $185 per month / $2,220 annual
whats next?
my thoughts are pay off car for $16k and free up $417 per month / $5,000 annually
this is a 2.4% note but I like the idea of reducing my monthly expenses
thanks in advance
