I likewise lost confidence in the social security system as a means of retirement as I looked at long-term forecasts.
My first investment happened two years ago. $13,000 was sitting in our account, and we kept getting nervous that the markets would crash immediately after we invested it. We finally pulled the trigger and jumped into two of Vanguard's Admiral index funds.
It's been a surprisingly good windfall year, as the lockdown has made it so fully remote positions are the norm, so I'm seeing higher salaries available for lower cost of living areas.
We follow Mr. Money moustache, and FIRE generally.
