Make saving for retirement a priority. Create a plan that benefits you & your money habits, stick to it & set goals OR create a system.
2. " Know Your Retirement Needs"

3. "Contribute To Your Employer's Retirement Plan"
- If your employer offers a retirement plan, sign up and contribute as much as you can. Your taxes will be lower, your employer may contribute more too, and auto-pay helps make this goal easier. Over time compound interest and tax defferals make a HUGE difference in the amount you will accumulate. Find out & research the retirement plan they offer like How much would you need to contribute so that they can match you & How long would you need to stay with the plan to get the money?
