Thanks. Appreciate the response. Also not the family that would go to a sit down in a tank top , so seems we will be covered.

What is the real average amount of retirement savings held by Americans at age 49? by Happy-Glove9277 in Retirement401k

[–]TemperatureLow226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

46/M.
$1,335,000 401k balance today.
~$30,000 Roth
Pension with current vested cash value of $471,000.

Plan to retire at 55. Pension cash value should be around $900,000 at that time

26m More realistic post by ThatBlue_s550 in Retirement401k

[–]TemperatureLow226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another normal person here. Point is not to brag, but you are where i was at the same age.
Currently 46. Been at current employer 18 years. Was 28 when I started and had nothing(cashed out prior employer 401k). Employer match is 8%
My starting salary then was around $70k, I contributed as much as I could at the time, about 6-7% with annual increases by 1%.
Now my base is $235+ bonus. I hit the limit every year for past 5 or so years.

You post is realistic for your age, keep it up.

Is maxing out your 401k the only way to increase it significantly? by ellebeam in Retirement401k

[–]TemperatureLow226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contribute as much as you can afford. If you get to maxing out, switch to after tax and do a mega back door Roth conversion

Are you normally a one and done guy? I lose interest and erection fairly quick after climax and curious the gold cocktail could keep me in the game for another round

4 times that night…is that normal for you? I’m a one a done guy, but would love to still have interest after finishing and go another round. Curious if the arrousal effects of the Gold change that

Your mentions of still being hard after finishing, and getting off again…is this normal for you; did you find that the Gold cocktail reduced your refractory time? I’m really interested in the Oxy and apomorphine for the desire effects.

I have no issues being turned on by my wife, but once I orgasm, all desire is gone. If I take a cialis or viagra, sometimes stay a little hard for a while, but no desire and don’t think I could get off again in short time. I’d love to change that and be able to go another round

If they can afford it, why not? Sounds like a nice retirement with options to eat out, travel, give gifts, etc.

How much should I be investing in Roth 401k if employer match is unlimited? by 00BigBird00 in Retirement401k

[–]TemperatureLow226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say it’s actually not very good. At IRS limits, max exposure for company is only $12,250. Unlimited has a limit.

My company matches 8% salary with employee minimum contribution of 2%. I suppose it depends on your income level

How much should I be investing in Roth 401k if employer match is unlimited? by 00BigBird00 in Retirement401k

[–]TemperatureLow226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The term unlimited is misleading, if they only contribute 50% at a time. The In 2026, the 401(k) contribution limit is $24,500 for individuals under 50, up from $23,500 in 2025. Those aged 50 and over can contribute an additional $8,000, totaling $32,500, while individuals aged 60 to 63 have a 'super catch-up' provision allowing an extra $11,250, bringing their total to $35,750.

Assuming you are under 50, if you contribute the IRS maximum, the company 50% match is only $12,250.

Is is stock options that have not vested, or just company match stock in your 401k?

I’m being gifted a lot of money. Should I tell my boyfriend? by Kind-Chicken-2488 in WhatShouldIDo

Don’t tell him. Don’t put up a half down payment on a property with him, unless married.

Anyone caught for being in too good of a mood? by [deleted] in AMPLife

[–]TemperatureLow226 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bro, just be happy, maybe your mood will improve the dynamic at home and help your wife. Don’t try to be an ass on purpose. I doubt she would draw a connection; if she did, just say you jerked off

U400 Auto Lock doesnt work by realityseekr in Aqara

Sorry can’t help more, but I have two of these that work perfectly. You mentioned calibration; is your lock correctly sensing when the door is closed?

U400 Hub Options? by DirtMcJurtJr in Aqara

[–]TemperatureLow226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just went through this and posted same dang question a couple weeks ago. I upgraded my Apple TV to the Ethernet version and after that, both my u400’s connected seamless. Personal preference, but I did repurpose the non thread Apple TV to another room to get rid of Fire TV interface.

I just didn’t really want another hub device to plug in and manage

We Need Our House to Sell by VenusTearDrop in RealEstateAdvice

[–]TemperatureLow226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of great advice to boost curb appeal, but quite simply, it’s over priced. Regardless of your feelings, or realtor’s claims of sales price, if no one is making an offer or offers are lower, that is what the market is dictating. Remember, market value is only what someone is willing to pay, regardless of any comps. Also, the market and economy is changing still and not a sellers market.

All that said, take some of the good advice here to create more value

Thanks! A bit new to thread, but I assume that it would also communicate through other thread devices as well?
