While
you are considering all of your options for your retirement
plan, here are some easy steps to get you started in the right
direction.
1)
Consider maxing
out and catching-up in your 401k and IRA. Start saving early and
consistently take advantage of savings opportunities.
2)
Save now for more
later. One of the best ways to find the extra cash is to pay off
debt and reduce expenses.
3)
Make your asset
mix match you. Avoid the two biggest mistakes: being overly
cautious and taking excessive risks.
4)
Stretch your
salary. Some work during retirement adds income and can provide
benefits.
5)
Create your own
income stream. A guaranteed income annuity, for example, can
guarantee a lifetime retirement income.
6)
Don’t
withdrawal too much too soon.
7)
Create a
realistic budget. Paid-up expenses, such as mortgages and other
debts, free up more money in later years.
8)
Expect and plan
for the unexpected. Especially don’t underestimate your future
medical costs.
9)
Stay on track.
Make sure to keep your actual activity as close to your
retirement income plan as possible.
10)
Mix and match the
smartest moves for you. Take action to extend income, control
spending, and maximize savings.
We at University Associates look forward to helping you
with your future.
