Maxed Out Your 401(k), Now What?
Maxing out a 401(k) is genuinely worth celebrating. It is also easy to mistake for the finish line.

If you happen to be between ages 60 and 63, there's also an enhanced catch-up contribution opportunity worth knowing about.
Our 2026 Retirement Tax Checklist was built for exactly this stage, helping you think through what comes after the 401(k) box is checked.
