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

maxing out? so 50% of your income?

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

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

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

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

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