When asked by Wallace what percentage of Americans she thought were financially illiterate, she said, "Truthfully, probably 95%." So-called "traditional" accounts, including 401(k)s and individual retirement accounts, give you a tax break up front. Because you fund these accounts with money you've already paid taxes on, your contributions don't count against your taxable income. Contributions to these accounts are made with after-tax money, but investments in them grow free from federal or state tax. You can contribute to any state's plan — and each plan comes with different investing options — but you'll generally only receive tax benefits, if they're offered, by investing in your home state's plan.

High fees can take a bite out of your portfolio returns, but the good news is that it's becoming cheaper to invest. Financial services firms charge clients a fee to invest their funds, typically withdrawn from their investment assets. Increased competition, notably in the ETF market and between direct-sold mutual funds, has also contributed to lower investment costs, Hauptman said. "It's important for investors to not just look at one piece of the investing puzzle to the extent that they're getting products and services," Hauptman said. Watch for other costs: If you're investing through a brokerage account, keep an eye out for transaction fees, which can be very painful for the most active investors.

Fg Trade | E+ | Getty ImagesAre you ready for a "second act" in retirement? Although they may long to quit a job and pursue a passion — a "second act" — their financial state will make that difficult. "We need to have a second act," she added. The key to figuring out your second act, Garrett said, is starting with a realistic self-assessment that answers several important questions: • What is your passion? Depending on your financial circumstances, a second act may still have to provide you with substantial income to make sense — in effect, you'll be "unretiring."
