$70k salary, if I max 401k what will take home be?

[Anonymous]

I maxed at $70k and continue. I did this as a single woman with no problem. Now as a married mother of young children, I still max but I am well aware that I am able to continue doing this because of DH’s income. I echo the advice of PP who said increase by 1-2% every year until you hit the max. Your older gray-haired self and your future young adult daughter who has a mother that can cover her own retirement will thank you for it.
