Lol, can't tell if this is a troll or a serious post, but basically you've put in the minimum amount to get your max 401k match and saved nothing on top of that and you're asking if others have saved more? Unless you're supporting a family, you can spend pretty exorbitantly and still live off your base alone (and save your entire bonus).
If serious, feel like you're a walking new money stereotype. What are you spending your money on?
