Many people in the workforce have a retirement savings vehicle option available through their company benefits program. The most common are the 401(k) or 403(b). These retirement vehicles that allow people to save money in a tax deferred account and receive tax deferred growth throughout the course of their life.
This means that the money going into this account is not taxed at an individual's current income rate, but is deferred until that person decides to remove dollars from the account.

*"While pandemic disruptions remain, 2022 offers hope of greater normalcy"*
In 2021 the markets bobbed up and down through a year that had a little bit of everything: politics, bubbles, meme stocks, inflation, runaway rallies and sudden drops.
Although we don't have a crystal ball, we do have a few clues as to what we might look forward to in the first months of 2022.

## [2022 Contribution Limits](https://blog.creekmurwealth.com/blog/2022contributionlimits)

## Some things you might consider before saying goodbye to 2021.
Preparing for retirement just got a little more financial wiggle room. In November, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) announced new contribution limits for 2022.
Staying put for 2022 are traditional Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), with the limit remaining at $6,000. The catch-up contribution for traditional IRAs remains $1,000 as well.1
For workplace retirement accounts (i.e. 401(k), 403(b), amongst others), the contribution limit rises $1,000 to $20,500. Catch-up contributions remain at $6,500.1
Eligibility for Roth IRA contributions has increased, as well. These have bumped up to $129,000 to $144,000 for single filers and heads of households, and $204,000 to $214,000 for those filing jointly as married couples.1
Another increase was for SIMPLE IRA Plans (SIMPLE is an acronym for Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees), which increases from $13,500 to $14,000.1
If these increases apply to your retirement strategy, a financial professional may be able to help make some adjustments to your contributions.

## Some things you might consider before saying goodbye to 2021
What has changed for you in 2021? For some, this year has been as complicated as learning a new dance. Did you start a new job or leave a job behind? That’s one step. Did you retire? There’s another step. If notable changes occurred in your personal or professional life, then you may want to review your finances before this year ends and 2022 begins. Proving that you have all the right moves in 2021 might put you in a better position to tango with 2022.
