I’m such an idiot. I maxed out my and my partner’s 401k one paycheck too early and we miss out on our company matches on the the last paycheck. Thought annual max was $24k as it was my projection in 2024 before irs announced actual $23.5k max and never updated it. Lost about $500 in match for us both. Granted total companies matches were still over $13k but still I thought I was a good spreadsheet jockey. Just a rant that no one else would understand
