Still riding either?
Did you splurge on anything

- Start date
I traded one of them in, maybe I should do the same with the other!
(No, she doesn't read this forum),
You can max out both your 401k and a Roth IRA, ie, 24,000(over 50) in the 401K and 6500(over 50) in the IRA for 30,500 total.
Not sure if that's what you were saying.

Yep.
That's what I did for 5 years prior to retirement.

First of all congratulations on making top rate. you deserve to splurge a little. maybe a nice dinner and / or a couple nice purchases from Costco.
what we did was to continue living on the lower rate until we saved 15 grand for a down payment on a house. that house now is worth over 400 grand ( it cost 150k ) and its paid off.
a lot of people go out and buy a big truck and then buy a trailer , motorcycles, snowmobiles, atv, and the toys to go with the trailer. all depreciating things. after a couple years they start moaning about the costs of owning these things. maintenance, insurance, repairs , etc.
pretty soon you need all that OT to take care of your "stuff". its like a noose around your neck.
KISS. keep it simple stupid. and enjoy life.

My advice is very similar to everyone else. But I will say marrying someone who makes even more than you will also make retirement planning even easier!!!

Or not getting married or having children at all.
My advisor never mentioned that.

Women my age suck. They have all had everything handed to them their whole life and don't respect men and if they are not the latter they have kids
You need to get out more.

And I see girls wo are 22/23 go out and get trashed on the weekends while they have a two year old at home. My generation is not solid
Look for an older woman . give her the salami and go home.

There's a dad somewhere (likely nowhere to be found) doing the same thing.
It take two to make a baby.

Max out the 401k and thank me later.
Or donate it to the IGP4U,beer fund. Very worthy cause.
