Is my 401(k) match based on a sum amount (i.e. 6% of 100k = 6000) or from each paycheck?

6% of your salary yearly or 6% of your paycheck, which is the same thing

As SC1 notes, there’s no difference

It's not the same thing if you max out early (ie in October). Some firms have a "true up" to take care of this. Others don't.

Thanks, BCG. That's what I was gearing towards.

Payout wise it's amortized over each paycheck deduction

I thought it was 6% of your contributions. 6% of salary is insane.

You need to check your plan documents or potentially ask in your company bowl. My firm for example does it on a per pay check basis. So if you max out early, you lose out on the match, and there’s no true up. Slightly annoying.

Though we have an option to switch to after tax contributions, which I never used to do. But now we have the option to do in-plan Roth conversions of our after tax contributions. So now I do those and don’t have to worry about missing out on the match

Wife’s firm has a Feb true up. So you lose a few months in the market (good this year) but contribution ends up the same

Yes Accenture has a true up in December if you max out early in the year.

We have a process for true up to ensure you get full match. You'd have to search the portal or benefits site for more info.

Advice & resources? My spouse and I are starting to make good money (ages 28 & 31, $105k & $70k) with $10k in savings (we were hit hard financially this year) and 2 car payments.

We live in a cheap apartment ($1.3k) that is sh*tty. Don’t quite have a down payment (especially not in ATX). Is it dumb to rent a house for a year at $3k/month while we save up again?

We both didn’t come from $ and are figuring out how to not be idiots 🙃 tbh we would prefer to rent forever but that feels dumb???

My fiancé and I (ages 30 and 31) are about to buy a house. We would put down 10% for a 835k purchase price. Our combined income is $265k. We both have around 7-10k left in emergency funds (each) and combined about 200k for retirement. Our mortgage is $4,500 a month and we split a car payment for $800. Is this an okay financial decision or should we have bought a cheaper house/saved more?

Good traders tend to be flexible. I can make money in all kinds of markets, being a bull or a bear. Today was a headscratching day. We rallied a lot farther than we should have. We bounced in place's we shouldn't have. So, I have to ask myself? What the hell happened? While I made money today, I should have made lots more money. Remember the tip that markets don't count Pre-NY Mondays. If I decided to do my from last weeks low as opposed to today's low. I'm bullish. Additional info in reply post
