A new year is the perfect time to revisit the numbers driving your retirement plan- and in this episode, Scott walks through the most important 401(k) updates pilots need to understand for 2026. From standard contribution limits to catch-up and “super catch-up” opportunities, Scott explains what’s changed, who it affects, and why contribution strategy matters just as much as contribution size. The conversation goes deeper into new rules requiring catch-up contributions to go into Roth accounts, the long-term value of tax diversification, and the hidden risks of relying too heavily on pre-tax savings.

Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:
