2) $5500 no. $5000 or $6000 (depending on age). Older (greater than age 50 I think) can contribute $1000 above limit of $5000. 3) Your money plan is only short term and is only "cash flow" centric. I saw no mention of retirement plan (when and how much needed). I saw no asset allocation plan. I saw no tax plan. You need a comprehensive plan to account for retirement, taxes, current debt and future debt.
