re: Do you max your annual 401k contribution?

Started maxing mine at about 35 or 36, I certainly didn't invest enough in my 20's. That said, I wasn't making much either and was working for companies that typically didn't do any matching.

Currently working for a company that does a 7% match + additional kick-ins multiple times a year. Granted they are golden handcuffs, just like our annual shares, but I'll take what I can get.

The wife has been maxing her account out since she was about 26. She's almost 10 years younger than me and is much, much better shape that I was at her age. Then again, I'm the one that was pressing her not to piss all of her money away.
