Thinking About the Future You Deserve
Whether your career is just taking off or you're getting ready to put the landing gear down, there is never a wrong time to plan for your retirement – even if time or money feel tight. Truthfully, time flies and your retirement will come faster than you expect!
How much money will you need in retirement?
Since it’s not unusual now to spend 25 to 30 years in retirement, plan to ensure your retirement assets will be sufficient to last decades beyond the normal retirement age.
Regardless of when you plan to retire, be sure your financial goals and expectations are realistic. Reviewing your retirement savings and your objectives with a qualified financial professional can help determine if you’re on track for your financial future.
Are you saving enough?
A good rule of thumb is to have around 10x your annual income saved at your retirement age (age 67), which could replace about 45% of your income over 20 years in retirement. This may not replace all your income needed to support your pre-retirement lifestyle, but it's a great start with combined with social security benefits and other potential personal savings!
