401(k) Contributions and How Much is Right For You? [Ep. 16]
About This Episode
If you’ve ever wondered “How do 401(k)s really work? Should I use the Roth option? How much should I contribute, and when?” this conversation breaks it down. Glen and Robert walk through traditional vs. Roth 401(k)s, company matches, “true-up” rules, catch-up contributions in your 50s and early 60s, required minimum distributions (RMDs), and how employee stock purchase plans (ESPPs) fit into a broader plan. The aim isn’t to provide a one-size-fits-all formula; it’s to help you understand how informed financial choices today may support your long-term goals.
