Tell me about it, I'm always amazed how many people do not put any money in their 401k or any retirement at all. What is the government's reason behind this? How are they benefiting?

And we are still going to get screwed on our company match because I don't see many companies continuing to give the percentages their matching if you are not also contributing that much. $2,400 is about a little less than 2% for me and right now I put in 6% which my company matches, I highly doubt they're going to make up the other 4% on their own as a goodness of their heart.

We end up paying taxes on the amount we can't deduct anymore.

The way I’m understanding is the $2400 would be the pre-tax maximum. You can still contribute post-tax and your company would be able to match.

If you're single your income should be more than enough to max 401k and ROTH.
