1. Open a Roth 401k
Start by opening a Roth 401k through your employers.
2. Contribute to Your Roth 401k
Contribute $1,958 a month each, because that's the 2025 limit.
3. Choose the Right Investment
Invest in a low-cost total stock market index fund within the account.
4. Stay Committed
Now, never touch it, never look at it, and never stop investing in it.
5. Consistency is Key
Do this for 25 years. You’ll end up with about $3.2 million, post-tax and post-inflation, allowing you to safely live off about $160,000 a year of tax-free money for the rest of your wonderfully well-planned-out lives.
