Hey guys. My new job (not GH) offers a 401k but it states I can contribute pre-tax 1-75%? Roth contributions 1-75% on after tax basis (minimum % combined with pre-tax).

I've never seen that. Does that mean if I select 75 percent, I'm investing 75 percent of my pay? The company match is 3 percent. What do I need to do hit the max company match so I get all the free money?

Some people like to max out early in the year so they allocate virtually their entire post tax/benefits paycheck to it then once max is hit get larger paychecks the rest of the year. It would also allow you to potentially max it out or just contribute a larger amount starting later in the year.

Check your company policy for whether match is reduced if you don't do it equally throughout the year. My company matches based on the total so I can accelerate if I want to.

Hi-I have 120K in cash in HYSA. After keeping emergency fund aside. Still have 75-80K available that I plan to invest. After 401k, HSA, IRA and monthly expenses: we are left with 6K every month. So investing 12K every month in market. My worry is with that rate - it will take us 12-14 months to move the extra 75-80K mentioned above. However do not want to make a bulk move. Any advise how to plan the switch. At present have 60K invested in stocks. Thanks
