Pretty sure that is why he put it in ( ).

For soon to be retiring here is another thought on 401 Contributions.

I'm retiring early next year so I have increased my Pre-Tax 401 and Catch-Up Contributions to the max 15%/30% starting in January. 45% of my 2014 earnings including any vacation buy-back should be tax free.

This only works for those who will be working part of the year due to the IRS limits others have already spoke of. If anyone knows differently or can add-on please put it out there.

Good plan db. The expected limit of $23k should be hit in Mar 14.

Actually "tax deferred"...but still a great idea!
