If you are a small business owner, this week’s article might be of interest to you. It mentions that “the 401(k) has become the go-to retirement plan for many Americans and continues to gain traction. The flexibility, tax savings and scale of 401(k) plans have made it attractive to employers and employees alike.” But it goes on to tell us that “a common misunderstanding with 401(k)s is that there’s a minimum age of 21. The minimum-participation rules state that a plan must not impose a minimum age condition beyond 21, and nothing in federal law precludes setting a plan’s minimum age at a younger age. These choices are ultimately up to the plan’s sponsor.” It’s never too soon to start to save for retirement. Call us if you’d like more ideas on how to do just that. We’re always here to help.
