Savers and investors aged 50 or older can take advantage of a catch-up contribution, effectively increasing the limit for those approaching traditional retirement age.

My 2010 contributions fell short from the maximum by about $700, and a portion of that is due to leaving the company in the middle of December.
Every year, the IRS makes cost-of-living adjustments to the maximum amount you can contribute to your retirement plans.
