By 30, he & spouse (if applicable) should be maxing out 401(k) and IRA
contributions. Don't worry about the past. Worry about the present and future.

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

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

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

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

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

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