The Financial Order of Operations, Step Two Through Seven Is Part of the 2025%

We say that in order to be a financial mutant, moving along in your financial journey, we want you to save 20 to 25% of your gross income for the future. In my mind, when we're talking about saving 25%, we'retalking about those future dollars that are going to provide for you later on. So I think 529 contributions would not fall into the 2025%. And then what about like your employer? If other people are giving you money, how does that factor in as well?
