How much money should a 30-year-old have in his 401(k)?

At least $600k.

Here's a funny story for you:

After the difficulties of 2008-2010, you might be just getting back to 11k now.

By 30, he & spouse (if applicable) should be maxing out 401(k) and IRA

4/16/14 9:03am

maxing out? so 50% of your income?

401k limit is $17,500. IRA limit is $5500. Not talking about profit sharing

4/16/14 9:11am

So, that $17,500 is that the max that you can contribute? or is it total?

deek1906

17,500 is what you can contribute. Employer match is on top of that

4/16/14 9:31am

Is that right? I thought it was $17,500 from all sources...

Limit w/ employer match is over $50K.

In 5 yrs (35 y/o) you should have at least your annual salary. At age 45

I probably could have googled that, but my wife wants me to be more social.

Nice, looks like I'm in the ballpark anyway. Plus I have

I think that is aiming too low. Save 8 times your salary by the time you retire?

4/16/14 9:19am

Shoot for 25 to 33 times your expenses forget about your salary that doesn't

Baron

Just remember that your expenses 30 years from now

4/16/14 9:37am

Hopefully in 30 years you don't have a mortgage or car payments though

That ratio takes into inflation. And my real exspenses will be much lower after

Baron

4/16/14 9:51am

I think as long as you have a 401k and are contributing at age 30, you're doing

$2 million. 1st million by 25, 2nd million by 30.
