There’s a point in your career where your 401(k) strategy should change, and for many pilots, it happens around $400K of income. Scott breaks down why that number matters and how it impacts both your tax strategy and where your money ultimately ends up. This isn’t about saving more; it’s about being intentional with how your contributions are structured. The way you handle this stage can have a major impact on long-term results.
Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:
📊 $400K Threshold: Income level changes contribution strategy
⚠️ Spillover Risk: Excess funds can land in low-return plans
💸 Tax Tradeoffs: Deferral vs long-term growth matters
📈 Front-Loading: More time in the market can boost results
