That's awesome! That's one of my goals too -- to finally max out my IRA one year.It's a good day. Payday is always a good day though but I just maxed out my 2016 IRA contributions. A few years ago, "paycheck-to-paycheck" wasn't even a good way to describe how my family got by. Now look at me: doing all this adult stuff with a retirement fund. Pfft, piece of cake...
