I am 48, single, no kids. I am a health care professional. I feel that I'm generally a very good saver and a not so good budgeter - hence the credit card debt payoff I worked through in 2020.So I calculated my Q2 & monthly losses.
Last month I was down $84,439.
Last quarter I down $188,231.
This included biweekly contributions of $800 to my TSP and monthly contributions of $1,000 to my savings. Last quarter I contributed $8,600. I maxed out my IRA in January, which in hindsight was not a good idea, but fortunately is a very small portion of my holdings.
If the 401k limit goes up to $22,000 next year I'll increase my contributions to $850 biweekly.
