When you are a high income earner and receive a W2 you are limited on tax deductions. So in order to reduce your taxable income you have to find out ways to do this. The reason I maxed out my 401k investing in index funds for 10 year was to reduce my taxable income and pay less taxes. When I started working at my corporate job back in 2011 I knew I wanted to be a millionaire and I wanted to do it in 10 years. In order to become a millionaire that means you have to invest your money but 1st you have to have money to invest. Second you need to know how to keep that money in your pocket by learning how your money is being taxed at you job. I calculated how much money I would pay in taxes if I didn’t contribute to my 401k and what my paycheck would be. Then I calculated what my paycheck would be if I contributed the max amount. If you want to learn how to do this check out my other video and I explain step by step.

After figuring this out I decided to max out my 401k and the reason I was doing this was because that meant I got to keep more of my money that I worked so hard for and my money wouldn’t go to paying taxes. The money would be inside my 401k growing exponentially and compounding over time. Another reason I maxed out my 401k was because my company would match 100% up to $5000. So every year I was maxing out my 401k and receiving $5000 by doing this. This means the small sacrifice I made by maxing out my 401k would ultimately set me up for life.

Now all I had to do was select a good fund to invest inside my 401k. After comparing all the investments I decided to select an S&P 500 index fund that tracked the stock market. I have only invested in S&P 500 index’s or similar funds inside my 401k because these funds have the lowest expense ratios and highest rate of return. Now I know people will say you cant pull money from your 401k before the age of retirement but you actually can in the form of a loan to yourself. If you want to now how to avoid PMI (private mortgage insurance) when you buy a home check out my video in this video I talk about pulling a 401k loan out to put a down payment on a house.

Millionaire 401k retirement account Maxed Out for 10 Years and Worth $700,000

Saving for retirement is a critical part of financial planning, and one of the most popular vehicles for doing so is the 401k account. For those who max out their contributions to their 401k year after year, the results can be quite impressive.

Imagine starting to max out your 401k contributions at a young age and continuing to do so for 10 years. The results can be quite substantial. One such example is a 35-year-old individual who has been maxing out their 401k contributions for the past decade and has seen their account grow to an impressive $700,000.

The power of compounding and consistent contributions can lead to substantial growth in a retirement account. By maxing out the annual contribution limit, currently set at $19,500 for those under the age of 50, individuals can take advantage of tax-deferred growth in their retirement savings.

In the case of the 35-year-old individual with a $700,000 401k account, they have been able to take advantage of their employer’s matching contributions as well, further boosting the growth of their retirement savings. Additionally, they have made sound investment choices within their 401k account, which has helped to maximize their returns over the years.

Reaching a $700,000 balance in a 401k account by the age of 35 is no small feat, and it demonstrates the value of disciplined saving and investing. This individual now has a substantial nest egg to rely on in their retirement years, and they can continue to contribute to their 401k and watch their savings grow even further.

For those who are inspired by this success story, it’s important to note that maxing out a 401k account may not be feasible for everyone. However, making consistent contributions and taking advantage of employer matching can still lead to significant growth in a retirement account over time.

The key takeaways from this success story are the importance of starting to save for retirement early, being disciplined about making contributions, and making sound investment choices within a retirement account. With careful planning and dedication, anyone can work towards building a substantial nest egg for their golden years.
