Can you talk more about retirement and earning to give? I see you max out your 401k, but am curious how much you have saved for retirement and how much you think you’ll need. Retirement fears have been the only cause of trepidation when I think about earning to give.
I’ve been putting the max allowed into a pre-tax IRA since I started at Google in 2012. I also put in a little in 2008-2009 when I was at BBN, but much less. We took $10k out, which the IRS let’s you do without penalty, when we bought our house. It’s invested in index funds, and is currently at $387k.
Our house is also a kind of savings/investment. You can think of the mortgage as a combination of rent and forced saving.
Figure out how much you’d like to have saved for retirement, and see what that leaves?
