I max out 401k, then save about $2,000 after tax monthly, excluding bonus. I save or invest as much of bonus as possible. Last year, saved about $50K of bonus. |
|
Date: June 20th, 2018 3:41 PM Author: Smoky parlor legend About $2000-2500 a month. 401k is only like $600 a month (I just max out my match) and then the rest is post-tax savings and investments. Side-gig money probably adds another 15k or so over the course of a year. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4006623&forum_id=2#36279677) |
