At age 25, it's hard to gauge how much to have saved, as everyone starts saving at different ages. But a common early metric is save about a years' income by age 30, so I'd say you're doing great. And 25%+match is also great. If/when you start paying rent/mortgage, you may need to back that down. But now, you're fine, even with the coach.

Gotcha, thank you! Yeah I'm usually pretty hard on myself about spending but I convinced myself to splurge on coaching just because this is what I want to do (I also want to coach in the future) so I consider it an investment.

Luckily my parents and my girlfriends prefer us stay living with one of them for as long as possible so I don't have to move out.

I wanted to have 100k by 25, but the market has kind of prevented that. I guess it's a win to not have my net worth go down and at least stay stagnant right now?
