  • There are some smart moves you can make to put yourself in a position to have a financially secure retirement. Opening an IRA is one example, and maintaining an age-appropriate asset allocation in your investment portfolio is another.

The article from MSN Money discusses a straightforward yet impactful strategy for enhancing retirement savings: increasing contributions to your 401(k).
