@Elena @ Reinvent Your Career – I used to put in 90% and have basically a $100 paycheck for 2 months until it was maxed out myself ;) Pretty much sucked living off pennies for a while (our savings would go down during these times), but then for the rest of the year I was getting 100% of my paychecks and watching my 401k investments grow! Def. a cool trade off if you can work it out… Even plowing in 10% into 401k would do wonders over your lifetime…
@savvyfinanciallatina – Right? Pretty impressive.
@Adam Hathaway – Great question for her :) I’d imagine she does though – most people who pull this off are SUPER good with their money and frugality.

That is a great collage! It is beyond me how anyone can be saving so much for retirement! Does Gina have room for any other spending in her life(if she even needs to)?

This collage is really cool! I like the first note saying “Never Lose Money” and the second one “Never Forget Rule #1”. Hahaha. This is too funny! Saving 85% into someone 401k sounds quite impressive, but who can do that these days except for celebrities?…

@Jenna, Adaptu Community Manager – You better have something important to put in there!!
@Mandy @MoneyMasterMom – OMG haha… now THAT is funny :)
@Gina – YES! SO COOL!!! And a good reminder to up those paycheck %’s too if you plan on maxing out throughout the year. Thanks friend! And for all the art again too :)
@Slackerjo – Oh yeah, that’s what I hear.

I freakin’ love Dolly because she can be creative and have good business sense.

Just wanted to remind everyone that IRS is changing the maximum contribution for 2013 and you will be able to put away $17,500.00 a year. Woohooo!

Pretty funny that her dad would keep rent receipts in a safe deposit box. I once had a friend who found a great deal on diapers, so she bought a year supply. But she didn’t have room in her house so she rented a storage unit. Probably wasn’t her most savvy spending moment :)

@William @ Drop Dead Money – Hey, we wouldn’t discriminate if you wanted to give it a shot later ;) Maybe your thought process/design skills would be totally different than what we’re used to seeing! That would be fun!
@AverageJoe – Hah! Probably.
@Debt an the Girl – Me too :) Reminds me of like 2nd grade all over again. We don’t get to create much as adults! (or at least get forced to)
