Strategy for Retirement - Painless • Follow a “painless” strategy for saving for retirement. • Start at the maximum of your employer’s matching-contribution. • At a minimum, put away 5% of pre-tax income. • If your employer does not provide match, use Roth IRA. • Add at least 1% of your income per year; or, • Add at least 25% of each annual pay-increase; until you reach the max ($16,500). • Once you are above your employer’s match, max out Roth first then use IRA until the max is reached. • Painless Strategy = put it away before you ever see it in any paycheck.
