2026 Retirement Shocker: New 401k Rules That Could Cost You Thousands

Описание: If you're a high-earning executive or professional making over $150,000, two massive 401k rule changes are about to hit you in 2025 and 2026. One opens up significant new savings opportunities, while the other forces you into paying thousands more in taxes—whether you like it or not.

In this video, I break down the new "super catch-up" contribution for ages 60-63 and the mandatory Roth conversion rule that starts in 2026. Most importantly, I'll show you exactly how these two rules intersect and what you need to do right now to stay ahead.

We cover:
The new super catch-up contribution: who qualifies and how much you can save
The mandatory Roth catch-up rule starting January 1, 2026
Why high earners will pay thousands more in taxes (and how to plan for it)
The $150,000 FICA wage threshold and why it matters
Three action steps you need to take before year-end
Why your employer might not be ready (and what that means for you)
