Beginning to Save for Retirement
Saving for retirement is a marathon. If you plan it right and stay with it, you’ll benefit in the long run. Here are some thoughts to consider as you build your plan.
Start early. The longer your savings have to grow, the more you benefit from compound interest (Albert Einstein called it the “eighth wonder of the world”).
If your employer has a 401(k) program, contribute early and systematically. If they don’t offer a 401(k), you can still make regular budgeted contributions to a tax advantaged retirement savings account such as an IRA. And even if you are contributing to a 401(k), you can still make additional contributions to your IRA.
