What is a 401k?

A 401k is a retirement saving plan that many U.S. employers offer to their employees...

...that has some advantages over a standard investment account.

When you agree to put a percentage of each paycheck into a 401k, two things can happen.

The employer may agree to match some or all your contribution…

...that's additional, free money that goes directly into your 401k to invest.

Plus, with a traditional, non-Roth, 401k, all the money put in grows tax deferred.

So you don't have to pay any tax until you start withdrawing money at a future retirement date...

…a time when your income could be lower and taxed lower, too.

Check with a financial expert for details.

So that's a 401k. Find more ways to know and grow your money at synchronybank.com.
