New laws were passed at the end of 2019 that aim to encourage more people to save for retirement in 2020, and it appears to be good timing: According to a December Ispos poll, 38% of Americans planned to have a 2020 New Years Resolution. Of these, 51% state that finances are their priority¹.

To encourage financial stability through retirement savings, the maximum contribution rates for retirement plans has been increased, and tax incentives are being offered to small businesses to set up automatic enrollment in retirement plans, as part of the SECURE Act. Read about some of the highlights here.
