The IRS said Wednesday that it lifted the amount that workers can set aside for retirement in their 401(k), IRA and other tax-deferred plans next year.

Beginning in 2024, workers will be allowed to contribute up to $23,000 to their 401(k), an increase of $500 from this year. The increase applies to other retirement savings accounts, including the 403(b) plan, most 457 plans and the federal government’s Thrift Savings Plan.

      I’m sorry to hear about your medical condition. That’s a rough hand to have been delt. I’m happy for you that you’re planning ahead and I hope it goes as well as it can for you. My 401k is pretty on par for my age (in terms of a multiple of my annual income based on goggle research). I’ve been putting as much as I can in but no where even close to the limit. What’s pretty sad is most of my co-workers are only putting 5% maybe 10% away and they think that’ll be enough. I try to explain but the vast majority don’t care.
