  - that's so ridiculous. "401k the max, but save outside that as well." no, I don't need food or shelter. -- nm - amanda Jul 9, 06:32 8
    - My father tells me all the time to max out and I'm like "how?!" - ty97 Jul 9, 06:36 3
      - My work retirement is a set contribution that I have no choice in. Above that, I max out my Roth IRA. - nubby Jul 9, 06:38 2
        
        Assuming I live to the statistical age for my generation, I'm certainly concerned about how much I'm saving. - ty97 Jul 9, 06:42
        
        i would like to save more, but really, it's not that easy. i am maxed out on what work will match. -- nm - Andie Jul 9, 06:41
    - Seriously. Who gets paid enough to save $22k/yr? - nubby Jul 9, 06:34 3

      - I thought that max was 17? -- nm - ty97 Jul 9, 06:37 1
        
        17+5(IRA)=22 -- nm - nubby Jul 9, 06:38
  - I would love to know what they assume is the standard disposable income level most people have. - Will Hunting Jul 9, 06:32
- I was hoping they'd provide more details, but didn't even tweet a link. To guess at the questions. - ty97 Jul 9, 06:26
