I agree. Allows you to compare yourself to others


Granted, probably only about 20% of responses are honest. But it's still somewhat valid.

The first responders were hesitant to share information and mostly were with the "none of your business attitude", then the responses got better.

This is not a correct statement. My income should preclude me from any Roth contributions, but it does not. The “back door” method should get you into Roth’s without any issues at all. We take the portion of my 401k that is invested in after-tax monies and they roll that into a jumbo back door ROTH. We also make contributions for my wife and me that get rolled into a traditional IRA and then into a ROTH. It can be done - legally.

On second thought, OP deserves all the down votes for starting this thread and never bothering to post his own numbers

About 12k in mine and 30 something in my husbands.

Probably nowhere near as much as we should have.

Not enough. Will probably be dead before I can ever retire anyway if I'm being completely honest. However I should preface that with I graduated college in 2010 with 0 student loans and have a fully paid off 2013 Honda which I bought new in 2013 that only has 40K miles. The only debt I have is my monthly credit cards which I pay the statement balance on each month. My credit score is around 780. I also have $8K just sitting in a credit union which is a total waste but it's there.

You dont need 5 MM to retire comfortably. Start with 10% and you will be fine.

31. $129,000

I started when I was 24 and have really enjoyed watching it grow. Currently putting in 16% and my company just increased the match from 4 to 9 percent.

No you don't. But if you have it life is easier.

But you pay tax on that previously un-taxed income when you convert correct?
