Pro Tips

The single most powerful retirement move: start now and never stop. Consistency beats amount. $200/month from age 25 beats $500/month from age 40.

Catch-up contributions after 50 are your best friend if you started late. The extra $7,500/year in your 401k grows to $150,000+ over 15 years at 7%.

Consider a Roth IRA if you are under 40 and in a lower tax bracket now than you expect in retirement. Tax-free withdrawals in retirement are extremely valuable.
