Retirement Planning: Building a Comprehensive Retirement Plan
When it comes to retirement planning, we recognize each person has unique needs and goals for retirement. There are many strategies and investment options when it comes to planning for your retirement. We can assist you with analyzing and creating a comprehensive retirement solution based on your goals. Understanding your individual objectives and personal situation is essential for our team to help you meet your retirement goals.
When Should I Start Planning for Retirement?
It is never too early to start saving for retirement. It’s critical to not sacrifice retirement savings for other things, like your child’s college savings for example, because there isn’t a second chance to do it over. The benefit of starting early is the miracle of compounding interest and little things such as the type of account and interest rate make a big difference over time.
How much should I save for retirement?
At a minimum, you should contribute enough of a percentage of your salary to qualify for your employer’s match. The amount your employer matches is absolutely free money for you. However, we highly recommend to contribute more than the minimum to get the match. There is no one "one-size-fits-all" magic answer for how much you will want to save for retirement. Naturally, the more you save, the better. It really just depends on the life you want to live in retirement.
Why is retirement planning important today?
The earlier you start saving for retirement the better. If you start as a young adult, compounding interest over a career will add up. For older adults who haven’t started saving for retirement, it’s important to get serious about saving. You’ll want to think about what age you will want to retire, when you will claim social security benefits and if you’ll continue working part time. If you need help answering these questions, we are eager to come alongside as you make important decisions about your life after retirement.
How do I start retirement planning?
You can start planning for retirement by opening a pre-tax or after-tax account. A pre-tax account lets you use tax savings now instead of later where an after-tax account you benefit from in the future. There are different types of accounts like 401(k), Roth IRA and more. You can experiment with qualified and un-qualified funds. There are many options but it’s important to truly have an optimized pro-active plan.
