At our income level and employment positions as high paid hourly employees, we bump up against the limits for any tax advantaged plan. It is either the financial limits set by the IRS or limits on control, because we are in a cockpit, not the boardroom. The reality is that we are responsible for our own retirement funding and anything above the IRS max will provide better returns for us if we are just given the money and allowed to invest on our own. The focus on C2019 should be company funded up to the 415C limits, which would be 20% with the current 56k contribution and 280k income limits. Above the 56k contribution limits should be paid in DPSP Cash.

Ever owned a stock that filed for chapter 11....and a class action lawsuit is filed for malfeasance? To be part of the class you had to be there for it.....if you buy the stock after the cutoff....you can **** and moan till your hearts content, but you are not part of the class...and have no rights.
I just want to know ....is he part of the class or just a bomb thrower trying to incite and flagellate the masses into a frenzy before we have even exchanged openers
Hopefully, that sheds a little light on my position....if not, I'm sorry...it's the best I can do since you failed to provide any points to ponder about how my thinking need rehabilitation

It’s very apparent that you are the bomb thrower here Buck. You attack, make false assumptions and claims and then won’t man up when you are called out. Sad....

On the surface your idea sounds good but, upon closer scrutiny, it runs into a problem because our retirement contribution is paid as a percentage of what we make. A 777A is gonna have a substantial amount paid in DPSP vs a 320B. You are going to have to factor that into the equation.
The following is just to make a point....If I didn’t know better I’d be screaming “money grab!” But I know that’s not what you’re advocating.

Realize that by putting so much of the gains into DC, you won't see much of a pay raise until you hit the DPSP Cash threshold. If you don't hit the threshold, most of the contract gains are in a retirement account, not money you can invest outside of the Fidelithy plan. Some would prefer investing outside of the plan at the expense of hitting the 415c Limits, others would prefer the extra spendable cash to buy toys.
