401(k) benchmarks every saver should know, and the next steps once you pass them

Saving for retirement is important, and a 401(k) is one of the best ways to do it. Hitting milestones like employer matching, 10% contributions, or maxing out your 401(k) helps grow your savings. After that, options like Roth IRA, HSAs, or stock plans can boost retirement money. Planning early makes your future more secure.
