My husband's company matches 401k contributions up to 6% so he has always made that percent. Reading through this subteddit I see that 15% of income is the recommended amount to save towards retirement. If he is saving 6%, and his company is matching that, would that mean we're already at 12%? If he increased his contribution to 9% would that be sufficient for retirement?
Since my income isn't calculated into that amount should I also be saving my own 15%, perhaps in some kind of IRA? I don't have a 401k through either of my jobs.
