So I finished my first year as an attending. Here is where I am financially. Would like some guidance on changes/help/info you guys think. Your guidance and help always appreciated.
I religiously read white coast investor and keep up as much financially as I can.
Car note: none
Credit card: non
DEBT:
$110k this year.
Amazingly didn’t expect as much bonus, but I can’t complain. I have another year on my contract, so my savings at current rate, I should have about $220-230k cash savings by next year.
RETIREMENT:
401k-$17,000 contribution (have $51k contribution from fellowship/residency)-Vanguard
401k-$15400 spouse contribution-Fidelity
COLLEGE FUND:
529 balance $7000 (Utah Vanguard)
I am also maxing out PSA with my employer at $5k a year.
So my questions are:

So my questions are:
- Should I be paying off house/school loans with the savings?
- Should I be looking to invest in the market more, if so, suggestions on type of accounts?
- Should I be looking at more RE investment (multi unit etc, and save towards that)?
