20% and I max out the legal limit every year. Get it in while you're young and have less responsibility

I go standard 401k. I'm not makin a call on taxes and I'd rather have more to compound earlier on. And the only IRA I have is a rollover from a previous job. It's not a bad idea though, especially if your 401k menu sucks or you want to take single stock risk

Thanks guys! I put 8% in my 401k and I have residual income so was trying to decide if I should bump my 401k contributions or put money elsewhere.

@OP have 1 property / in the process of buying another, trade fx, and looking to buy a small business with a small group of people. My view is if I actually need my 401k when I'm old enough to tap it.. I've failed so I'm putting the money to work myself I figure it's better to put myself to the test sooner rather than later

Do you guys also have separate Roth IRAs as well?

5%

@M&A IBA, where do you put your $?

@M&AIBA, been having the same thoughts. I'm in a good place career wise and have no reason to believe my income won't continue to increase significantly to the point where 401k contributions are only a small portion of my nest egg.

Enough to max it out

I max.

Good morning!

Still trying to figure out this whole Fishbowl thing, so here goes my first post.

I would love to get into provider credentialing, but all employers I've looked at want at least 3 years of experience. So, I'm looking at Provider Network Coordinator roles, because I'm finding some of those roles don't need AS MUCH experience. I'm a RHIT, and have been working in healthcare for nearly 10 years.

Any input on employers is appreciated!

Hi all, I have a question regarding retirement accounts. I am not sure if I should choose a Roth or 401k (company has 4+2% match). Currently 23, base salary is ~100k and investments have brought 45k this year which has me teetering between a 22-24% tax bracket. Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!
