No 2024 Retirement Savings? Here's How to Max Out Your IRA Before 2025
Maxing out your IRA is a great way to improve your retirement readiness, but it's no easy feat for many of today's workers. You must set aside $7,000 in 2024, or $8,000 if you're 50 or older, to pull this off. That's a lot of money to forgo this year, but it could be worth the effort. A $7,000 IRA contribution this year could be worth more than $32,000 in 20 years if you earn an 8% average annual return.
With over half of 2024 gone, you might consider putting off your plans to max out your IRA until next year, but there's still plenty of time for 2024 contributions. Here's how much you'd have to set aside per month to reach your goal this year.
