My goal this year to contribute $10,500 to my retirement savings. I plan to contribute $5,500 to my Roth and $5,000 to my taxable brokerage account.
For March I contributed $1,270 to my retirement account. That brings my total contributions for 2018 to $3,270! Only $2,230 more to go to fully fund my Roth for the year. I hope to be max it out no later than May of this year (maybe April if I can scrounge up some extra money). Once those contributions are complete I will contribute $5,000 to my taxable brokerage account.
In case you were wondering (and I would because I am a nerd ), I have been tracking my retirement contributions for the year. They are as follows:
1/15/18 $1,390
2/15/18 $610
3/15/18 $1,270
How are you doing with your retirement contributions for the year? Frankly, I feel pretty blessed to be able to put any money towards retirement. I feel even more blessed that I should be able to max out my Roth in May (less than halfway through the year). If I receive some of my travel voucher reimbursements in April (I have over $1300 outstanding) I may pull some money out of those to finish out my Roth Contributions in April.

ReplyDeleteGreat job on retirement. We are doing Dave Ramsey's plan and we are currently investing 13% of our income. We are hoping to have it to 15% by the end of the year.
