Date: May 5th, 2024 11:25 AM Author: talking meetinghouse Wouldn't it be hard to max 401k in your 20s/30s if you're a lowly Fed? Even GS-13s are around 100-120k today and most feds make less than that. And they still have to save for a down, have kids and all that.
Don't doubt that even putting aside 10k in the market every year for the last 20 years accumulates a great deal. But suspect there's extenuating factors allowing these lowly Feds to max retirement from an early age. |
