Many people save for retirement in a 401(k), which makes a lot of sense if it’s available where you work. You can especially benefit if your employer matches your contributions and if you want to contribute to the higher threshold that 401(k)s allow. (Employees could contribute up to $19,000 to their 401(k) plan for 2019 and anyone age 50 or over was eligible for an additional catch-up contribution of $6,000 in 2019.)
However, you only had until the end of 2019 to make contributions to your 401(k). This means you can no longer put money into your 2019 401(k) if you didn't max it out.

This accessibility to health care has a lot of similarities to providing pepperoni and mushrooms to hungry individuals.
“Pharmacists are actually the number one most accessible health care professional,” said Miller. “I started thinking about how convenient it is to order a pizza and wondered why we couldn’t do this with medications.”

Protection while you’re alive – As you know, it’s usually necessary for both partners or spouses to work to maintain a household – so if your income were to disappear, even temporarily, it could present a big problem.
