Ask Tanya:
Q: “How can I best utilize the new 401(k) limits for 2025?”
A: Maximize contributions early in the year to take full advantage of compounding growth. A great way to achieve this is if you receive your prior year bonus in the current year. Amend your contribution amount to have withdrawals taken out of your bonus. Also, check if your employer offers a match—this is essentially free money for your retirement!
