You’ve built your own business and ready to pass the keys to others, or you’re winding down your employed career. Whether your retirement date is fast approaching or you still have a few years to go, it’s important to take steps to boost your nest egg so you’re better prepared to meet your goals. Consider the following five strategies for maximizing your savings potential.
1. Maximize tax-advantaged contributions
Get the most out of your savings by maximizing tax-deferred contributions to your IRAs and 401(k) plans. In 2023, you and your employer can contribute up to a total of $66,000 to your traditional 401(k). If you don’t have a 401(k) or want to save more, you can contribute $6,500 to an IRA.
