    It's recommended to save at least 15% of your income in a 401k. You can use online calculators to estimate how much you should save based on your age and income. Saving at least 15% of your income in a 401(k) can help ensure that you have enough money to retire comfortably. By saving this much, you can take advantage of compound interest and potentially grow your retirement savings over time.

      The point i think he was trying to make was that maybe you can make even more money yourself, if you have the mind for it....investing it in ways that make a lot more than the $3000 your employer will give you....real estate for example or other businesses. But that's a low percentage of people making those types of decisions which is why he said most people should just go with the 401k.

      A decade back I had a job that had something similar to a 401K. Looking at the numbers now where I allocated 70% to high risk (never mind the past year being off), I wish I had invested more from my paycheck so that my job would match even more. I like the overall growth that I am seeing years later.

    It's pretty simple anno 2023. Just have your bank set up in such a way (most banks have apps in which you can do this) that, say. 10% is sent to your personal savings after your monthly salary comes in, another 10% into your emergency fund and for example, a part into the joint checking account between you and your partner. That way, groceries, nights out etc. are paid from the joint account, you're both saving, and the money you have left in your own account is yours to do whatever you please. That's how we set it up and it works - savings are building up over time and it's done before you even see that you have new money in your account.

If you take the principle out at any point, while there is no penalty (because it was after-tax dollars), it resets the 5 year clock for it to be enabled as tax-free. Just an FYI for everyone =)

We can't take out the money untill we are 55/60 Y/O or in some circumstances. In my POV this is a great programme where the citizen are kind of secured in future after retiring. Btw the annual dividend percentage is higher than keeping in any other bank in Malaysia as in fixed deposit manners.

    One thing to add is that there are some math advantages to regular IRAs over Roth accounts. They're generally better when you're younger because the money should stay in the market longer and grow larger but then be taxed at a lower income rate in retirement. They are less liquid though and of course the math changes for everyone.

If you are considering adding a "side hustle" that reports and files taxes, not like walking your neighbours dog or something... you have to go in and notify the marketplace and either start paying more on your health insurance or choose a less valuable insurance option. Otherwise you will probably end up owing taxes at the end of the year. I was burned in the past.

    @Humphrey, I have both a Roth IRA and a 403b.... I save about 15% of my income in these accounts. I am partial to wanting to max out my Roth first and then using the rest for the 403b....any thoughts on this strategy?
