To have sufficient money for my retirement .

Kind of a really complex problem. Without knowing how much time you have to invest before retiring and what your expense habits are it’s a really tough question to answer. I think it’s safe to say the minimum should be whatever your company is matching.

You generally always, always should aspire to contributing up the company match because it’s free money. However like the prior post said, this may not always be possible depending on your personal circumstances. For example if you have credit card debt, that’s a situation where it may be best to take those dollars and spend it knocking down that debt. Assuming you don’t have high interest rate debt though, I’d always try to take the match (and if you can) max out the 401K contribution every year. If you can’t max out the contribution, at least seek to match your employer’s contribution.

Can anyone of you please help in calculating how much will be my income tax per month(I am availing the Old tax regime)? Different IT calculators show different figures, not sure which is correct :(

And as for the interest amount in the Savings Account and Fixed Deposits, do both fall under "Income from Interest"? Or under "Other Income"? Or does Interest amount in Savings account fall under "Interest from Deposits - 80TTA"?

The figures are given in the screenshot 👇🏻

Six wks later her 17yo wrecked it, air bags deployed, and estimates have ranged between $10-$18k in needed repairs while $21k is still owed. Acquaintance was switching insurance policies and flubbed the coverage dates and there were a few days where the vehicle was uninsured. No GAP insurance. I'm not seeing many options for her besides to continue pmts, fixing just enough to drive or voluntary repo. Thoughts?

Fellow P&T Directors - here’s a thread for us to discuss what we are hearing/not hearing with regards to PCLDE and the making of new partners in P&T.

On every call, we hear Joe talk about making new Partners and his commitment. I have yet to see any of those ‘commitments’ be reflected in actions or explanations. (eg. No senior directors from commercial GTM going into PCLDE this year …) What?

Do they really think we’re going to ‘stick around’ until they ‘figure it out’ …
