Planning Before Year-End

If you're ready to take greater control of your retirement investments, Directed IRA can help you open a self-directed IRA or Solo 401(k) and explore investment opportunities beyond the traditional stock market, including real estate, private lending, private companies, and more.

How can you maximize your retirement savings by strategically using a 401(k), Roth IRA, and Solo 401(k)? In this episode of the Directed IRA Podcast, Mat Sorensen and Mark J. Kohler break down the “Match and Out” strategy, a practical approach to making the most of your available retirement accounts and building tax-advantaged wealth.

Rather than automatically putting every retirement dollar into your employer-sponsored 401(k), Mat and Mark explain how to prioritize employer matching contributions, explore Roth IRA opportunities, and layer additional retirement accounts to potentially increase how much you can save each year.

In this episode, they cover:

• The Match and Out Strategy: Why taking full advantage of your employer's 401(k) match is often the first step in your retirement savings plan.
• Roth IRA Strategies: How a Roth IRA can offer greater investment flexibility and tax-free growth, including the backdoor Roth IRA strategy for eligible high-income earners.
• Maximizing a Solo 401(k): How self-employed individuals and people with side businesses or consulting income may be able to contribute to a Solo 401(k) alongside an employer-sponsored plan.
• Stacking Retirement Accounts: How to coordinate multiple retirement accounts to maximize contributions and take advantage of available tax benefits.
• Involving Your Spouse: How a spouse who works in a qualifying business may be able to participate in a Solo 401(k) strategy.
• Year-End Retirement Planning: Why the final months of the year can be an important time to review your income, employer match, and retirement contribution strategy.
