Travis is a great football star and received a full scholarship when he was at Concordia. He graduated from Concordia in December $2020$ and joined the Canadian Football League $($CFL$)$ on January $1,2021.$ He never worked before this as he was always in football training camps over the summer. To date, he has never made a Registered Retirement Savings Plan $($RRSP$)$ contribution. He considers his salary low but knows that in time, he will prove himself on the field and bring in the big bucks. He was happy that on December $16,2023,$ he received a large bonus and wished to maximize his RRSP contribution to use as a deduction on his $2023$ personal income tax returns. There is no pension plan in the CFL$.$ The formula for RRSP contribution is the lesser of $18\%$ of the previous year$$s earned income or the yearly maximum based on the RRSP table below. How much did Travis put in his RRSP$?$ Hint: Ignore the $ $2,000-$lifetime over$-$contribution grace amount and consider carry$-$forward amounts.
