Maybe it doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things, but to me that’s no different than investing in an S&P 500 fund in an IRA or regular brokerage account, so it’s clearly investing and not spending.
Those contributions are an asset that is part of your net worth, and to treat them the same as a dinner out or a vacation is technically incorrect and potentially misleading.
But, your accounting system is yours, not mine.
Yes. Why wouldn’t you aim to reduce as much tax burden as possible.
$81k in retirement is approx 14%-16% of HHI so that’s right at the 15% rule of thumb.
