The Internal Revenue Service has announced the 2022 dollar limitations for qualified retirement plans and other benefits. Most of the limits will increase from 2021 and some remain unchanged. Knowing the limits available and how much you are able to contribute are an important part of your strategy for investing for retirement.
Maximizing your savings in these areas now will help you create the funds you’ll need to have better options for your retirement goals from lifestyle cost, healthcare charges, and even legacy gifting.
