Feel like you're behind on retirement savings? You're far from alone, and your 40s and 50s might actually be some of the best years to catch up.
Once you turn 50, you become eligible for catch-up contributions that let you save more than younger workers in a 401(k) or IRA. And if you're between 60 and 63, a newer rule lets you save even more through a special "super" catch-up limit.
These years are often peak earning years too, which means even small changes, like redirecting one expense toward savings, can add up faster than you'd expect.
A later start doesn't mean a worse outcome. It just means it's time to build a real plan around where you actually are today.
