\n

1. "Start Saving Now & Keep Saving" 

\n

- Start small day by day save a % of what you make/earn. Then increase your saving percentage each week or month. The sooner you start saving, the more time your money has to grow. Make saving for retirement a priority. Create a plan that benefits you & your money habits, stick to it & set goals OR create a system.

\n

2. " Know Your Retirement Needs" 

\n

- Experts estimate that you'll need 70 to 90% of your Pre-retirement income to maintain your standard of living when you stop working. The key to secure your retirement is to plan ahead.

\n

3. "Contribute To Your Employer's Retirement Plan" 

\n

- 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?
