New 401k Rules: The Best Retirement Savings Strategy Has Changed

Follow this 4 Step Action plan to Minimize Taxes in Retirement AND have your money last longer.

Younger investors starting out will be better served with ONE retirement savings strategy, while Older Pre-Retirement investors will want to consider an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT Strategy.

The Government just changed the rules. Not all choices are gone. But we want to consider income levels to determine where we want to save FIRST for Retirement.

With this rule change and the New Senior Deduction, the Best Retirement Savings Strategy has changed significantly for higher income earners over 50 years of age.

If you have a 401k, you can no longer choose the account where you contribute ALL of your savings. Income limits have been established now for Traditional 401k and Roth 401k accounts for those who want to play Catch Up in Pre-Retirement years.

The first question to ask any financial adviser is, “Are you a fiduciary to me 100% of the time”. Get the answer in writing Please note that some people call themselves “fee-based”. This is NOT the same as fee-only. Fee-only advisers have committed to being fiduciary to you 100% of the time. Personally, I would only hire an adviser who is a fiduciary to me 100% of the time. This is not a suggestion on what you should do. Just sharing my personal preference.
