☆ How to save for retirement if your company doesn't offer a 401(k)
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-30 | by ( Mike Winters | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +4 min

Even if your employer doesn't offer a 401(k) plan, it shouldn't stop you from getting the most out of your retirement savings. You have other tax-advantaged options available to save for the future, including individual retirement accounts, Roth IRAs or health savings accounts — all of which can help your money grow. However, only about 11% of Americans max out their 401(k) contributions. If you don't have an employer retirement plan like a 401(k), all of those contributions are tax deductible. And unlike traditional IRAs, you don't have to take minimum distributions at any point.

Mizuhara is charged with bank fraud, which carries a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison. Mizuhara committed "massive fraud" against Ohtani to satisfy an "insatiable appetite for illegal sports gambling," Estrada said. Mizuhara, who did not bet on baseball, is "linked to an illegal gambling operation," Estrada said. The transfers from the bank account were made from devices and IP addresses associated with Mizuhara, federal prosecutors said in a statement. During this time, the contact information on Ohtani's bank account allegedly was changed to connect the account to Mizuhara's phone number and to an anonymous email address linked to Mizuhara, prosecutors said.

Lamborghini sold more than 10,000 vehicles last year for the first time ever and Ferrari had a more than 17% increase in revenue. But customers purchasing Lamborghinis, Rolls-Royces and Bentleys have an even wider array of infinitely customizable paint colors and interior materials, to start with, than carmakers offer for less expensive brands. If the customer has a favorite shirt, for example, the car paint could be matched to the fabric color. At Dixon’s Rolls-Royce dealership three quarters of the roughly 90 cars sold each year include some degree of custom options, she said. While she and Rolls-Royce’s design team can provide guidance, in the end, the choices have to be the customer’s.

CNN —Oklahoma City Thunder guard Josh Giddey won’t face charges in California following an investigation into whether the 21-year-old was in a relationship with a minor, police announced.

REUTERS/Lori Shepler/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsNov 27 (Reuters) - U.S. bond giant Pacific Investment Management Company (PIMCO) said on Monday it expects the next few years to provide the best opportunities for private credit investors since the global financial crisis. "As private credit investors, this is the environment we’ve been waiting for," portfolio managers at PIMCO said in a note. In particular, PIMCO expects the lower liquidity environment to create opportunities for private credit investors in specialty finance - collateral-based loans to consumers and small businesses - as well as in senior corporate loans and commercial real estate. Within specialty finance, the asset manager singled out residential mortgage credit, solar and home improvement lending, equipment finance and aircraft leasing. PIMCO said it expects opportunities for private credit to provide such financing not just directly to borrowers, but also to banks and non-bank lenders.
