Why Retirement Planning is Important

Why Retirement Planning is Important

Retirement is more than taking a break from work–hopefully, it will mean living the life you’ve worked so hard for. Whether you envision traveling the world, spending more time with family, or enjoying your hobbies, a successful retirement requires thoughtful preparation.

The Importance of Starting Early

The sooner you begin planning for retirement, the more time your money has to grow. Retirement savings benefit from the power of compounding, which means that starting early can result in a more substantial nest egg. For example, if you want to have $1 million by the time you're 65, starting at age 25 means you only need to invest $286 per month. But if you wait until you're 35, that number increases to $670 per month.

Don’t wait—start planning now to take advantage of compounding and give yourself the best chance for a financially secure retirement. That being said, it is better to start late than to never start at all, and we want to help everyone pursue their retirement goals–no matter when you set off to do it.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I start planning for retirement? 
The earlier, the better. Even if you're in your 20s or 30s, the time to start planning for retirement is now. The more time your savings have to grow, the better your financial situation will be when you retire.

How much should I be saving for retirement?
The answer depends on your lifestyle goals and the age at which you plan to retire. A general guideline is to save 15% of your income each year for retirement, but you may need to adjust this based on your specific circumstances.

Can I access my retirement savings early? 
There are ways to access retirement savings early, such as through a Roth IRA conversion, but there may be tax penalties for withdrawing funds before age 59½. It's essential to consult a financial advisor before making early withdrawals.
