What percent of your income do you put away for retirement?

I have been... let's say "undersaving" for several years.  Pay raises over the years had shrunk what was 5% of my income that I was saving down to 3%, so I doubled my contribution up to 6%.  Either way, I've been working for 8 years out of college, and I barely have enough for one year of retirement.

 

I've heard that you should save a minimum of 10% of your income.

I've heard that you should max out the contribution limits.

 

It must be nice to have so much disposable income that you can sock away that much money.

 

What say you?.

I contribute 10%.  It's incredibly difficult to look at my paycheck and realize I could use that money but I can't bring myself to change it.  I looked at a website that calculated how much money you made and projected that over your 30 year career taking into account the market and so on.  It gave me a dollar amount that I should be saving.  I took that amount and rounded it up to the nearest hundred.  In addition to my 401k, which gets a 5% match, I contribute to a 457b and Roth IRA.  My family has scared the hell out of me because they say how little they have for retirement.  I'm trying my best to prevent that from happening to me.

Not enough. 

 

I laugh at the Social Security estimate information that comes yearly in the mail.  Does anyone expect those benefits to be there?

 

nope

 

everyone under the age of 35 should probably operate on the expectation of getting nothing.

 

I am also expecting the govt to try to tax Roth IRA distributions by the time I retire

Ive averaged about 10% over the last 15 years.  During the last ten years I had an additional 8% thrown in by my employer.

 

Due to a wedding this past year and changing jobs, Im not making contributions to my retirement at this time but that will change in a couple of months when I get everything squared away with the new gig.

15% 401K; matched by employer

10% Roth IRA; matched by employer

25% pays bills & living expenses

50% remaining is blown on vacations, Panthers tix, guns, cars, home theatre, etc, etc, etc.

I put 25% away, probably more than most. But I blow a crapload on toys, too. 26, single, & no kids. With my employer matching, I'm basically putting 50% of my annual salary into retirement. I will retire before I'm 50. I hate working.

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
