how much money should you contribute to your 401k
Hereâs where to start: 1  If your employer matches 401k funds, contribute enough to get the full match. 2  Next, if you can contribute to a Roth IRA, work on contributing the full $5,000 a year to that account before you contribute elsewhere. would contribute the other 1500 dollars to this account every month. With every raise/bonus/windfall of money I would equally split it between 401k until itâs maxed by both of you, student loan repayment, and your investment account.
