Start retirement planning now - it's always the right time
Who has time to think about retirement? You have bills and loans to worry about, right? Truth is, it's always the right time to make a simple plan and take steps toward saving for retirement.
As your life changes, your plan can change right along with you—stay on track.
Let's get started together.
Start a plan for retirement and stick to it
Having a retirement plan, even a simple one for now, can help you start where you are and stay in charge of your retirement along the way.
How much do you need to retire?
Retirement income that's 70 to 90 percent of your income right before you retire can generally help you maintain your lifestyle. See how much planning it will take with this retirement tool .
Keep an emergency fund & protect yourself
Maintain at least six months' salary in a regular Savings Account or Money Market Savings Account. Consider health insurance and disability insurance too.
Pay yourself by saving
Once your emergency fund is in place, pay yourself by putting money into a savings or Money Market Savings Account as often as you can. See how even small amounts can pay off big.
Changing jobs? Consider a rollover.
Consider rolling employer-sponsored 401k funds into an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) if you change jobs.
