If that seems out of reach, start with what you can and increase gradually.<\/p><\/div><h4>What&#8217;s a realistic return to expect on my 401(k)?<\/h4><div class=\"faq_inner\"><p>Historically, a diversified portfolio has returned 6-8% annually over the long term. However, remember that past performance doesn&#8217;t guarantee future results. It&#8217;s often wise to use a more conservative estimate in your planning.<\/p><\/div><h4>Can I adjust my 401(k) contributions whenever I want?<\/h4><div class=\"faq_inner\"><p>In most cases, yes! Many plans allow you to change your contribution percentage at any time. Take advantage of this flexibility to increase your savings when you can.<\/p><\/div><h4>What if the calculator shows I&#8217;m behind on my savings?<\/h4><div class=\"faq_inner\"><p>Don&#8217;t panic!
