Follow these proven strategies to build a secure and comfortable retirement
Start Now
The best time to start saving for retirement was 20 years ago. The second best time is today. Every year you delay costs you thousands in compound growth.
Maximize Employer Match
Always contribute enough to get the full employer 401(k) match. It's free money with immediate 100% returns.
Diversify Investments
Spread retirement savings across different account types and investment vehicles to minimize taxes and risk.
Plan for Longevity
People are living longer. Plan for 30+ years of retirement expenses, not just 10-15 years.
Consider Healthcare
Medical costs are a major retirement expense. Factor in health insurance, long-term care, and unexpected medical needs.
Adjust Over Time
Review and rebalance your retirement plan annually. Life changes, markets shift, and your strategy should evolve.
