highYou're past 20% equity on Mortgage$1,872/yr

Equity on Mortgage is 27% of the $430,000 value. If mortgage insurance is still on the loan, that's roughly $1,872/yr buying protection for the lender, not you — and past 20% equity it's cancellable on request.

highHigh food delivery spending: $459/mo$1,652/yr

About $459/mo goes to food delivery (mostly Uber Eats, $267/mo) — roughly $5,508/yr.

highHigh-interest debt: Chase Sapphire at 23.99% APR$1,008/yr

Chase Sapphire carries $4,200 at 23.99% APR — about $1,008/yr in interest at the current balance.

high3 recurring subscriptions: $79/mo$948/yr

Subscriptions total $79/mo ($948/yr): Peloton ($44/mo), Netflix ($23/mo), Spotify ($12/mo). Some may be unused.

highPhone plan runs $95/mo$780/yr

Verizon charges about $95/mo. Budget carriers (MVNOs) run the same networks for roughly $30/mo per line.

Corrective actionRate-check your phone plan
highIdle cash: $17,722 earning little interest$709/yr

About $17,722 sits above a 6-month buffer in low-yield accounts. At 4% APY that's ~$709/yr left on the table.

Corrective actionMove idle cash to high-yield savings
highA 0% transfer could buy $1,133 of breathing room

Chase Sapphire carries $4,200 at 23.99%. Moved to a 0% intro-APR card for a typical 15 months, the interest you'd skip (~$1,259) beats the usual 3% transfer fee (~$126) by about $1,133 — worth it only if the balance is genuinely cleared inside the window, and it takes solid credit to qualify.

mediumInvestment mix may not fit age 34$750/yr

Your investments are ~69% equities; a common rule of thumb at 34 is ~76%. You may be holding more cash/bonds than your time horizon needs.

Corrective actionReview your investment mix
mediumFund fees cost about $200/yr$175/yr

The funds we could price average a 0.4% expense ratio across $50,000 — roughly $200/yr, charged whether the market goes up or down. Broad index equivalents in the same asset classes run nearer 0.05%.

Corrective actionCut what your funds charge you
mediumHousing takes 40% of income

Housing runs $2,100/mo against $5,200/mo income — 40%, above the ~30% guideline. A heavy housing line squeezes every other goal; worth weighing at the next natural decision point (lease renewal, refi, move).

mediumHigh credit utilization on Chase Sapphire

Using 35% of the $12,000 limit. Keeping it under 30% helps your credit score.

lowNo insurance premiums in view

With 1 dependent, no insurance premiums appear in these statements. Coverage may simply run through payroll — worth confirming the people who depend on your income are protected (term life and disability are the usual gaps).

05Personalized Opportunities

✦ Tailored

Opportunities specific to your situation — career moves, employer benefits, account structure, tax and location edges a generic checklist would miss.

RetirementCapture your full employer 401(k) match$2,850/yr

Capturing your full employer 401(k) match is the highest-return move in finance — an instant 50–100% before any market return, often around $2,850/yr at your income. Contribute at least enough to get all of it.

RetirementRoth IRA: tax-free growth you can use$2,407/yr

At your income you can contribute directly to a Roth IRA — up to $7,000 this year — for completely tax-free growth in retirement, one of the most powerful and underused long-term accounts.

EducationA 529 can grow education savings tax-free$506/yr

With dependents, a 529 lets education savings grow tax-free for qualified expenses, and many states add a deduction — confirm your state's rules with a CPA.

Confirm with a CPA
CashBiweekly mortgage payments would retire the loan years early$2,129/yr

Paying half your $2,100 mortgage payment every two weeks makes 26 half-payments a year — one extra full payment. On your $312,000 balance at 6.2%, that saves about $50,395 of interest and clears the loan roughly 4 years sooner. Check that your servicer applies biweekly payments to principal rather than holding them.

TaxAn HSA is the only triple tax-advantaged account$1,881/yr

If your health plan is HSA-eligible (a high-deductible plan), you can put in up to $8,550 this year — deductible going in, tax-free growth, tax-free out for medical costs. Many people invest it and treat it as a stealth retirement account; confirm eligibility with a CPA.

Confirm with a CPA
TaxTexas has no state income tax — protect that in retirement$3,206/yr

Texas levies no personal income tax, so 401(k) and IRA withdrawals, pensions, and Social Security all land untaxed at the state level. That is a standing advantage worth weighing before any move — and worth confirming with a CPA before you rely on it.

Confirm with a CPA
ProtectionYour beneficiary forms outrank your will

The named beneficiary on a 401(k), IRA, or brokerage account controls where that money goes — a will doesn't override it, and forms filled in at a first job rarely get revisited. With people who depend on you, confirming the primary and contingent names on every account (plus basic directives — a will, powers of attorney, a healthcare directive) is an afternoon that decides where the largest accounts you own actually land.

CareerBenchmark your comp every year

Software salaries reprice fast. A yearly market check — levels, not just base pay — costs nothing and anchors your next negotiation; in this field the biggest raises historically come from re-leveling, not annual reviews.

ProtectionDisability coverage protects your biggest asset

At 34, your future earnings dwarf your portfolio. If your employer offers group long-term disability, it is usually the cheapest way to insure the income everything else in this plan depends on.
