PSA For Those Still Working

Your 401k contribution max is HIGHER!!!  If you're like me, that means a 50+yr old can put away $27k this year :cheerleader:plus the other options like a Roth IRA too.

2022 401(k) Contribution Limits

Workers who are younger than age 50 can contribute a maximum of $20,500 to a 401(k) in 2022. That’s up $1,000 from the limit of $19,500 in 2021. If you're age 50 and older, you can add an extra $6,500 per year in "catch-up" contributions, bringing your total 401(k) contributions for 2022 to $27,000. Contributions to a 401(k) are generally due by the end of the calendar year.

I'm trying to remember the years I made 27K let alone got to put it away.

There were a few, especially the consulting years, but working in research instead of having a corner office doesn't return a lot of money.  It did return some very interesting years working on things that many said couldn't be done.

I'm sure the limits were lower back then.  You actually pre-date 401ks, and they didn't get hopping until I was working.

True.  We had a thing called pensions back then.  But that was before it was discovered how easy it was to underfund or default on those.  Pratt and Whitney had a large layoff of people about to turn 50 and by their rules cut the pensions in half.  Management (those who weren't laid off) got large bonus checks those years.

You're married with children so I think that puts you in with the old-ass wrinkly crowd...or at least one foot in the old-assed wrinkly crowd.
