How much did you save for retirement in 2022?

[Anonymous]

$41k to two employer sponsored tax advantaged accounts.
$20k contribution from employer for one spouse.
$7500 match for the other.

$68,500 specifically for retirement.

But DCUM told me that you need an income of $300,000 to get ahead in this area.

No one in my family has lived past 75. I’m 55 and have enough money, per calculations, about 3 mil., to last another 80 yrs.

I’m blowing every dime I make each and every year from this point forward on whatever I feel like blowing it on.

House or paid for so Champagne (Prosecco sucks balls), travel (soft sheets and comfy beds my only need), prime beef, oysters and king crab legs for days. And cranking the AC down to 65 so my old butt doesn’t break a sweat.

I’m blowing as much as I can while I still have my wits, health and bowels about me.

For when I depart this earthly plane… for the heavenly skies above… I will do so with a full stomach and tipsy buzz, clean sheets in a bed I didn’t make, and a smile upon my face.

Hallelujah and happy New Years to all!!!!

I like you. Thanks for the laugh.

Not OP but, to brag ... Of course.

We contributed about $60k and lost $600k.

Tax qual savings:
$100k - self employed DB plan
$67 - self employed 401k and profit share with catch up
$8k - HSA not used for health care
$7k - IRA
Total = $182k

We also invested in the market - maybe another $100k? And paid off our mortgage which was another $100k.

Including employer contribution (50% of the first 3%) ot was $19,800.

I’m on one decent enough (just over $100k) income but with a SFH mortgage, utilities, ever-increasing property tax, etc. it doesn’t seem to go that far. I’m proud of myself for saving that much. Bumping it up a percent next year, too.

20k each in our 401k and then 30k in my mega Roth. Doesn’t include employer match or our HSA which we are using as a retirement tool.
