My savings strategy is taking advantage of work discounted stocks and 401k matching. With matching, 21% of my gross salary goes back into investments, and it is growing pretty well IMO. As my salary increases I'm going to keep increasing the % until I get to 25%, then leave it there and start spending more money on myself. Only debt I have is zero percent on a rewards credit card, which will be gone before the grace period is up.

Contibute to employer sponsored retirement plans first. Contributions grow tax deferred and also reduce your tax bill. Get started asap:
A 10k annual contribution at 7% for 25 years will be $632k. 10k at 7% for 15 years will be $251k. My wife and I max 401k contribution first, then put savings in other places.Originally posted by davbrucasI want to like Slow99 since people I know say he's a good guy, but just about everything he posts is condescending and passive aggressive.
Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?
You and slow99 should date. You both have passive aggressiveness down pat.
