[quote=Anonymous]this year's return, 19%, is historic and NOT TYPICAL. Typical is more like 7% on average. Next year could be a loser year in the negative per cent. Don't go by the 19%. Why not split the difference? My worry is that you would stop the contributions but the $ would get eaten up (literally) by eating out, coffee, vacations, gifts, parking tickets. And then you wouldn't have this wealth later in life (at age 51, I'm telling you, you look back and think "what in the hell was I doing with all that money at the time?!?"). Because at 51, I'm looking at what I have managed to save in my 401K and it's not enough to allow me to retire at my retirement age.... arrrgghhh! If you can squeeze by, do that. If not, contribute up to the match, whatever that is. Just keep a budget and be careful. [/quote]
