I plan to put away just enough to stay out of the 25% federal tax bracket, about 13k this year for me.  I can't front load, because my company does NOT true up the match.  If you miss one pay period, they don't match at all.  That is too much free money to ignore. 

I am also saving for years 1-5 of early retirement, otherwise I would throw EVERY DIME I could at pre tax accounts.  However, I am saving in taxable accounts since I will need these soon for early retirement until my Roth conversions are complete.

I have mine set to 40%, enough to max it out by late October. The larger paychecks for the end of the year go to fund the Roth IRA and taxable accounts.

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
