I’m getting a $32k bonus this Friday 3/14 and it seems to be coming at the perfect time. Usually I delay my 401k contributions for bonuses but luckily the market started falling weeks ago when I usually submit my 401k pause request. Happy to have a ~$3.5k slug hit my account. I’m only 31 so have plenty of time to let it grow. Not worried about this drop - Im actually thrilled & excited!
Second point - is anyone under 35 bumping up their 401k contributions? I’m currently at 8% because my company matches 50% up to 8%. Debating increasing to 12-15%. I’m plowing other money into Roth IRA & Brokerage acct so I can afford to reduce my brokerage contributions for the time being.
