Wow - well I don't know what to say other than 2015 has been a fantastic year. I don't talk about money with people in real life so I'm going to do it here instead...

- $36K into two 401ks
Maxed to the federal limit

- Lose ability to contribute to a Roth IRA
See the very last point point

- $20k into eventual house down payment fund
Boom - $25 k

- $6k to max out family HSA
Contributed the max through payroll to reduce tax burden

- Cross $650k in total savings (retirement and non-tax advantaged) - currently at $575k
Well somehow we blew this away and ended at $701k. The market was slightly negative so it was almost all pure savings. On a gross income of $245k we spent $70k in taxes, $50k on all spending, and saved the remaining $125k :w00t:

- Increase gross income from $205k to at least $235k via raise or new job
Changed jobs and ended up at $245!.

Technology (software engineering). I should also say I live in NYC so the numbers aren't as crazy when adjusted for cost of living.

This thread certainly motivated me and kept me honest. Signed up for 2016 goals due to the success of this thread!
