The answer may depend on how much time you have before retirement. If retirement is within 5 or 10 years, the most effective strategy might be to add more to your savings every year. That’s easier said than done, as you might already be saving as much as you can afford. But if it’s possible to save more, doing so should help you get caught up.

With several decades before retirement, it can work out well to pursue higher returns in the markets (of course, there’s no guarantee that you will achieve those returns—you can and will lose money investing, at least temporarily). That’s because compounding can potentially work in your favor, assuming all goes well.

There are other strategies to shore up your finances if there’s a shortfall: spending less, downsizing, taking advantage of catch-up contributions, etc. Some of those strategies are available to you today, and others might be feasible in future years.
