  1. National Save for Retirement Week It’s Closer Than You Think!

  2. Start Saving Now! Make it a habit – start saving at a young age, even if it’s a small amount. Set small savings goals first – save for 6 months of living expenses and then aim higher. Establish an appropriate spending plan for your money. Compound interest is your friend – small amounts saved now will become larger over time. Develop a tax deferred savings strategy.

  3. “How Do I Get Started?” Does your workplace offer a 401(k), 457, 403(b) or other defined contribution plan? Talk with a benefits coordinator to start an account and take advantage of any employer match that’s offered. No employer plan? You can begin a Roth IRA with an investment company. Speak with an investment advisor or research online to find the best fit for you. Finally – don’t touch your retirement account. Though it may be tempting, it’s best to let the account grow over the years so you have money to fund your retirement. Plus, you’re often hit with penalties and fees for cashing out early.

  4. More Financial Tips… Avoid credit card debt; repayment with high interest rates can keep you from reaching your financial goals. Pay your bills on time, including student loan payments, to keep your credit worthiness high and allow you to obtain the best loans and credit terms in the future. Don’t forget about taxes when calculating your income; this may cause you to misestimate income flow.
