401k
The U.S. government has determined that the risk of retiring without sufficient retirement funds is greater than the risk of workers losing money by investing in risky assets such as stocks.
A 401K is a retirement plan offered by U.S. employers. The contribution limit is high (2021: $19,500 / 2022: $20,500), and most companies add extra savings through matching contributions.
There are two kinds of 401K: a Traditional 401K, which provides an income deduction for the amount you save, and a Roth 401K, which offers no deduction but is tax-free on investment income.
401k Rollover
If you leave your company, you can keep your 401k in the previous employer's plan, or roll it over to an IRA account or the 401k of your new employer. You can decide which to choose by comparing the pros and cons of each.
Mega Backdoor Roth IRA
Depending on the 401k plan, a Mega Backdoor Roth IRA may be available. If a Mega Backdoor is possible, as of 2021 you can save an additional $38,500 to a Roth IRA or Roth 401(k) on top of the 401k contribution limit of $19,500. Therefore, if you want to save a large amount for retirement, the Mega Backdoor is a good tool.
401k Loan
If the 401k plan allows it, you can borrow a portion of the amount saved in the 401k (usually the lesser of 50% of the total or $50,000).
401K Withdrawal
If you withdraw before age 59.5, you must pay a 10% penalty, and the amount withdrawn is treated as income and taxed. If you withdraw after 59.5, you only need to pay income tax on the amount withdrawn, with no penalty.
If you leave your company at age 55, you may be able to withdraw from the 401K of your last employer without the 10% penalty.
