<prompt> Human: I started working in government shortly after graduating college Im 28 now. As a government worker, Im enrolled in my states pension system, which currently takes 6 of my income as contributions. Its pretty likely Ill continue working under this pension until retirement, which means it would pay me back 65 of my income in retirement. I know I shouldnt count on that as my only source of retirement income, so Im also putting money aside in a Roth IRA. My question is how much of my income should I be putting away in the Roth IRA? And should I consider any other retirement savings vehicle in addition to the Roth IRA? Thanks.  <response>: You can only put 5500 a year into a Roth IRA. I would max it out.
