Only 10%. But I also contribute 5% to an employee stock plan. Last year I was able to drop a few thousand separately into a Roth, but it doesn't look likely this year.
Good for you. Keep saving.
To HahacharadeUR - where the heck did you get those bogus statistics? I'ved looked at income statistics, and at least the top 60% of households qualify as middle class or above. According to the Census bureau, the top 60% of households earn at least $57k. $57k is comfortably middle class except in the most expensive parts of the nation, and in those parts, pay is usually higher to compensate.
That 86% figure would put middle class minimum income at around $100k. Sounds a little high to me. I've linked to the censu bureau info

Now if there's a employer journey reckoning on the greenback volume of the pension an same 401k for a youthful guy with first rate money available might have much extra potential thus could be extra appropriate than a pension. One intense high quality subject approximately 401k's is you are able to retire at fifty 9.5 and withdraw with out penalty it additionally would properly be exceeded down on your infants upon demise and not basically to companion like a pension. additionally maximum pensions make you wait till sixty seven to collect the finished earnings in case you retire at sixty two you will basically get carry of 80% of the pension earnings. in case you have a substantial fee or could make a substantial purchase and place self assurance in a pension basically your month-to-month earnings is fastened with a 401k you're able to easily withdraw the quantity. so as you will discover they the two have advantages pensions are gauranteed month-to-month payouts in retirement. 401k's have extra potential and extra lenience. yet quite a pension and a man or woman retirement account in retirement might kick some substantial a s s to not point out maximum human beings could have the money for to place away some % in a 401k it is all it takes.
