Retirement Spreadsheet
WHY RETIRE JANUARY 1 ST ? 401k Rule: You can only put as much money as you have earned in the tax year into your 401k. Your last check will be received in the new tax year (1/15/2016). If you put your hours worked and leave payouts into your 401k it could maximize your 401k. This will increase months of paid up medical and/or HRA dollars.
