The most you and your employer can put in is $72k.... You alone can only put in $25k.

Elvis makes stuff up?

Downright funny, which is why I made the thread. He had to completely delay and walk back his “liberation day” tariff numbers in response to the stock market reaction.

Where'd you get 6%, bozo?

Bidens* financial collapse was almost 30% and lasted for 25 months before things recovered just to where they had been. You would know that if you were paying attention to your 401K.

Go back and read the fist post and trumps words to see where I got it, you ignorant troll.

I honestly don’t pay attention to my 401. I throw 65k+ a year in there and wait. I pay attention to my taxable.

Nope, post tax contribution don’t count towards the pre-tax total, they come out of the 72k (which has moved up from $66k to 69k to 72k). It a form of mega-backdoor Roth where they money stays in my account via in plan conversion.

I contribute post tax money, that night it is converted into Roth automatically. So I max out my normal pre-tax, figure out the company match, and the difference between that and the total max is space I can use for post tax contributions that convert to Roth.

Well I was mistaken.

Does anyone really care how much money he puts back annually? Is his life really so shallow he has to resort to bragging to anonymous strangers on the internet as to his net worth? Please note this is hardly the first time he’s done this. It’s really quite pathetic.

By contributing money that has already been taxed as ordinary income you think I’m not paying my fair share? Did you think that one out?

I’m paying about three our four peoples share.

We are down 7.9% since inauguration.

I guess inept leadership is crashing the market.

Actually, it's down 5.6%. Sell ALL of your shares if you are scared.

SP500 down 7.9% from Jan 21 until time I posted.

Its only down 2% since election day.

I'm surprised Elvis hasnt given us an update on the Trump Slump.

lulz

TURNAROUND TIME

The past two days are the best ever I can recall for our portfolio. Every single investment was in the black and at a high amount relative to our modest means.

The op
.

Libturds Under Biden*: "Of course inflation is out of control and gas/oil prices are high, there's a war in Ukraine!!"


Biden* - High inflation, gas and oil prices with Ukraine war.

Trump (the goat) - low inflation, gas and oil prices with Ukraine war and a war with Iran.

It wasnt that the country got ransacked by the Ukraine war. Its that the country got ransacked by dumbassery under Biden*.

All it took was a new president.
