Headlines on Retirement Savings in 2020

Here are 4 headlines from the past week to jump start our conversation on retirement savings in 2020:

Retirement Saving Tips

As you prepare yourself to start making some smart retirement moves, it’s important to get a few more bits of advice. The Talking Cents Blog loves to encourage financial preparedness. Additionally, it’s a great idea to speak with a financial planner and other friends and family who have a knack for this.

To get started, answer these retirement questions to help you calculate your financial needs:

  • Lifestyle- comfy and casual or globetrotting?
  • Inheritance for the kids?
  • Any expected costly medical needs?
  • Have you started investing yet?
  • When do you want to retire?
12 ways to retire early

Additional Retirement Tips

  • Start investing a certain percentage of your income every year. Increase the amount until you hit 15%.
  • Don’t remove money from your retirement funds.
  • Compound interest works especially hard the longer you invest. Don’t wait too long to invest or get too side tracked trying to pay for your kid’s college education.
  • Contribute to your employer’s 401(k) plan at least enough to max out the employer contribution.
  • Change your investment risk throughout the years- more risky and aggressive while young to very safe and stable near retirement.

We hope these retirement savings in 2020 headlines helped. Check in next time for another Weekly Round-Up!
