One of our favorite shows every year is our annual “401(k) By Age” episode. In this year’s edition, we’ll talk about basics of a 401(k), including new limits, employer matches, and vesting schedules, how many millionaires are created by 401(k)s, and of course the average 401(k) balance by age.

- The basics of a 401(k)
- How many Americans are taking advantage of their employer match
- The financial power you’re leaving on the table when opting out of your 401(k)
- The average 401(k) balance of Americans in every age group
