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.

I’m an FA at ML, been in the role for 1 year and 8 months, but have 23 years of industry experience. Quarterly, I have a performance review call with my Market Executive and until today never heard anything negative… my growth is slower than I’d like and definitely I’m sure that’s why, but today he said last time “they” wanted to give me a letter of education and he talked “them” out of it. First of all, who is “they” / “them” and what would the letter of education be for? Any thoughts?
