📈 A major shift is coming to America’s retirement system — and it could change how millions of workers save for the future. Beginning in 2026, new rules under the SECURE 2.0 Act will transform the way Americans over 50 make “catch-up” contributions to their 401(k) plans.

For decades, older workers have used these extra contributions to build bigger nest eggs while enjoying valuable tax deductions. But that’s about to change. Under the new law, anyone earning $145,000 or more will no longer be allowed to make pre-tax catch-up contributions. Instead, all those extra savings must go into a Roth 401(k) — meaning you’ll pay taxes now, rather than later.

This shift could have big tax implications for higher earners and near-retirees. It may also create complications for employees whose companies don’t yet offer Roth plans — potentially freezing their ability to save extra. Supporters say the change encourages long-term, tax-free growth; critics call it a stealth tax increase designed to boost government revenue today.

In this video, we break down:
✅ What the 2026 401(k) catch-up rule really means
✅ How the new Roth requirement affects your retirement tax strategy
✅ Why this could signal a broader change in U.S. retirement policy
✅ What you can do now to prepare and protect your savings

If you’re over 50 — or planning ahead — this update is a must-watch. The rules of retirement are changing, and the smart investors will adapt early.
