RETIREMENT FAQS
The earlier, the better. Starting in your 20s or 30s allows you to take full advantage of compound interest. Even small contributions made early can grow significantly over time.
A common rule of thumb is to aim for 70-80% of your pre-retirement income annually, but this can vary widely based on your individual circumstances. To estimate how much you’ll need, consider factors such as:
- Lifestyle Goals: Are you planning a quiet retirement or do you envision traveling, pursuing hobbies, or living in a high-cost area? Larger plans require a larger nest egg.
- Retirement Age: The earlier you retire, the more years of income you’ll need to fund. For example, retiring at 65 could mean 20-30 years of expenses, while retiring at 70 may reduce that number.
- Healthcare Costs: Medical expenses typically increase with age and are often underestimated. Include premiums for Medicare, supplemental insurance, and out-of-pocket costs.
- Other Income Sources: Factor in Social Security, pensions, or part-time work. These can offset some of the savings you’ll need to draw from your retirement accounts.
- Inflation: Your cost of living will rise over time, so it’s crucial to account for inflation when estimating your needs.
To calculate your specific savings goal, start by estimating your annual retirement expenses. Multiply this number by the years you expect to spend in retirement. For example, if you need $70,000 annually and expect to live 25 years in retirement, you’ll need $1.75 million saved.
A 401(k) is employer-sponsored and often includes contribution matches, while IRAs are individual accounts with tax advantages. Both are excellent options, and many people use both to diversify their retirement savings.
Yes, but early withdrawals often come with penalties and tax implications. Certain accounts, like Roth IRAs, offer more flexibility, but it’s generally best to avoid tapping into retirement funds before age 59½.
