RS 2020 contribution limits

Earlier this week the IRS released their updates to retirement plan contribution limits. The good news is everyone’s favorite tax agency has increased the amount you can contribute for your 401(k), 403(b) and 457 plans. Limits generally increased from $19,000 to $19,500. Catch up contributions for workers aged 50 and over who participate in these plans increased from $6,000 to $6,500.

We could belabor the point here, but the best thing to do is cruise on over to the IRS’s website and read what they have to say.

Their news bulletin with a summary of the changes is here.

The official notification of the changes is here.

Don’t forget, maximizing your retirement contributions is an excellent way to build your wealth. Retirement contributions reduce your taxable income and they grow your wealth by putting your dollars to work on the stock or bond markets.

MANAGE YOUR MONEY TOGETHER

Here are some simple guidelines for DINKS to build wealth:

1) Collaborate: Meet regularly to talk about money, set goals together, track and monitor them.

2) Understand and respect your partner. Take time to understand your partners values about money.

3) Watch the numbers. Get a budget, monitor your spending and track your net worth.

4) Max your retirement. Maximize contributions to your tax deferred retirement accounts.

5) Invest in stock. Stocks perform better than bonds or cash.

6) Avoid high interest debt. Credit cards and title loans are financial cancer.

7) Diversify. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
