Yes, you read that right šŸ˜Ž

šŸ› The government wanted to make it easier for people with student debt to save for retirement šŸ§“

So last year, Congress passed the SECURE 2.0 Act of 2022. It makes it so that employers can match contributions under a 401k plan that go towards student loans. This can lower your tax liability as you pay off debt and eventually save for retirement.

šŸ“… The plan is supposed to go into effect next year. Of course, you need to work for an employer offering the perk to take advantage of it.

One question we have: How will this impact overall tuition bills? Itā€™s no secret that the U.S. has exorbitant higher education costs. Does this legislation address the soaring education costs on the wrong level? Maybe so, but that doesnā€™t mean you should avoid it šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

As you look to save for retirement, itā€™s important to take advantage of all the benefits the government (and your employer) are willing to give you. Most employers match a portion of your 401k contributions.
