yeah, you can’t gauge much from these answers without the salary context

Where else can I put pre-tax income other than my 401(k)? Roth IRA? I’m a noob.

18% - 28

10% - 38

5% — 28 y/o.

I need to be putting in more.

8% into my 401k and an additional 17% into a separate investment account. 48 years old.

The 17% isn’t going into a tax protected account. It goes into a brokerage account that my financial advisor manages/invests for me on an on-going basis.

14%, 36

Put as much as you can possibly afford.

7% 401k with 5% match, 30% into separate brokerage. -25yo

Can someone dumb down the reasons why you’d want to have a ROTH IRA now as opposed to investing in a 401k if you can’t do both?

Thanks for this!

14% - 29

12, 43

I'm going to accept an offer that's 150k+🎉 I'm a single filer, no kids. I'll be able to max out: 401k, HSA, but from my understanding, I will not qualify to utilize IRA? Aside from building a 6-month emergency fund (HYSA), what are potential next investment vehicles? I do know I want to start purchasing real estate for cash flow. But what about mega-backdoor Roth IRA? I'll admit, I still need to read more on it.

Just curious what investment vehicles you're using to get to FIRE.
