You should be able to do twice that, easily.
Well, that 68,3K doesn't include our savings for college and general taxable accounts. We save $127K total. Considering we pay about $195K in taxes, I don't think it's too bad.
If this doesn't include taxable accounts (like buying stock) how do you save $68K? Two 401Ks are $34K plus two IRAs $10K, so $54K total. Or, can one or both of you do a SEP IRA, which has higher limits?
DH is over 50, so he can do an extra $5,500 in 401(k) and an extra $1,000 in a traditional nondeductible IRA. The $68,300 includes employer match (6% for me, 3% for him).
