Summary
Your 401(k) just had its biggest quarterly boost since 2020—up 10.5% thanks to a roaring stock market. Gen Xers and millennials are saving more than ever, with workers in their 30s averaging $75,200 and those in their 40s hitting $156,800. People are also socking away a record-high 14.4% of their pay (nearly the recommended 15%) and grabbing nearly all employer matches—free money! But experts say don’t just focus on your 401(k)—aim for 15% of income across all savings, and track your net worth (assets minus debt). By 40, target 2-3x your annual income in net worth. It’s never too late to start—or catch up—just keep contributing what you can and grow it over time. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
