CONNECT WITH A RETIREMENT PLANNING ADVISOR TODAY
Planning your retirement strategy is important but not something to stress over. If you’ve already started saving, one of our certified financial planners can help you optimize your savings, investing and risk approach so you can live the retirement life you dream. However, if you haven’t started planning for retirement yet, there’s no better day than today!
Your Savings Account and Investing for Retirement
One of the most effective ways to save for retirement is to invest money, often into the stock market or other assets. It is unlikely that you can meet your retirement goals simply by allocating a portion of your salary to a savings account. Instead, a Financial Advisor and investment strategist can help you invest your asset to gain value and reach your goals.
For example, imagine that you contribute $5,000 per year to a savings account paying 1% interest annually. In 35 years, that account would be worth $208,000. But if you invested that same $5,000 annually, assuming a 7% average annual return, the account would hold close to $700,000 in that same time period. Naturally, the returns depend on what you invest in, and the best way to optimize that growth is to connect with a certified financial planner.
BUILDING YOUR SAVINGS ACCOUNT AND NEST EGG
After you’ve built an emergency fund of three to six months of living expenses, you can work with your Financial Advisor to plan how much you want to save and invest for retirement. Things to consider include your current age, your target retirement age (average is age 65) and how much money for retirement you’ve already accumulated. Most Americans save and invest 15% of their incomes for retirement, but it’s important to consider your own Life Plan and what makes sense for your needs and dreams.
Often times employers will sponsor matching contributions to your retirement plan, so if 7.5% feels more comfortable to save, you may have the option for your employer to contribute the other half.
Common Types Of Retirement Plans
There are many different types of retirement plans that can fit your Life Plan and help you achieve your retirement goals. Here are few of the most common.
-
An individual retirement plan for which contributions are not tax-deductible, but withdrawals in retirement are tax-free.

An individual retirement plan for which contributions are not tax-deductible, but withdrawals in retirement are tax-free.

Focused Long Term: How to Recover from a Financial Setback and Adjust Your Risk Tolerance
