My 401k contribution from this month has been put in, and I found a fun chart!
In 2015, my total dollars contributed were $2,613.12, and my employers put in $1,306.57, for a total of $3,919.69
In 2016, through the month of October, I've contributed $3,407.61 and my employer has put in $1,177.76, for a total of $4,585.37. Now, those numbers aren't outstanding by any measure of most of the members of this site, but I'm kind of pumped about it. I've about hit $40k in gross income this year already as well, which should put me on pace for $45-$47k depending on commissions and new policy sales between now and years end. That should get me to $4,500 contributed along with $1,300-$1,400 by my employer, which puts me at about $6k total, more than 2 grand over last year.
