Hello all. Was wondering how you all allocate your salaries between:

    • 1. TSP
    • 2. Roth IRA
    • 3. Stock Brokerage Account

    Personally, I just deduct 10% per paycheck into the TSP. I don't make any contributions other than that. I max out my Roth IRA every year. Finally, any extra cash I may have I allocate into VOO. Not sure if we post number here but I'm a 2ndLT with roughly 11k in TSP, 33k in Roth IRA, and 160k in the stock market.

    I'll be in the USMC until I'm about 35 due to being an aviator. I want to be on the right start from the jump and was wondering if your allocations look different in how you invest. My emergency fund is 5k, which may be low for some of you, but I'm comfortable with it.

    Are there any alternative investments that I'm overlooking? I would love to invest in real estate, but it's so damn expensive and the risks seem to outweigh the pros, at least starting off.
