Advocate for a Better 401(k) and Tax-Smart Charitable Giving

For many Americans, contributing to an employer-sponsored plan is the primary way they’re saving for retirement. Unfortunately, not all of these plans are excellent, and you’re stuck with the investment choices and features chosen by your employer.Or are you? Longtime Motley Fool colleagues Robert Brokamp and Buck Hartzell talk about how the Motley Fool’s 401(k) was actually not very good in the early days, how they worked with the company to improve the plan, and how you might be able to get your employer to do the same. Also in this episode: How to lower your tax bill with charitable contributions, including why you maybe should give more in 2025 due to a provision in the new tax bill. Two worthy organizations to consider: the Fool Community Foundation (FoolFoundation.org), which creates new wealth-building opportunities for Americans living paycheck to paycheck, and Together We Bake (TogetherWeBake.org), which provides workforce development for women with limited resources facing barriers to employment.
