When I first started my job and was making very very little I thought I should contribute something so I started at 2%. It wasn't much but it helped to start somewhere, I have gradually increased it over the last 5 years with to 12% and I planing on going further. So in the beginning I was only giving 23 bucks a paycheck and now with raises and increased contribution I am at 276 a check and I never missed the money.

Instead of paying quarterly taxes, I'm having an additional amount taken out each pay period so it doesn't seem as bad. And I'll probably bump my retirement contributions again in about two months.
