Personal Finance

Not a comp thread.

I'm interested in hearing how others save, invest, and plan for the future. 

What % of your monthly salary do you invest, and what do you invest it into?

Outside of your firm's 401k, what retirement accounts do you use? Roth, Trad IRA, Backdoor Roth?

How do you deal with your bonus? Lump investment, major purchases, spread it out over the next year?

If you have kids, do you use a 529 or just a savings account or taxable investment account?
