Track key assets for long-term retirement planning
The power of compound interest works best with time. Starting at 25 vs 35 can mean hundreds of thousands more at retirement.
Always contribute enough to get the full employer match - it's free money that can significantly boost your retirement savings.
Spread risk across different asset classes, sectors, and geographic regions to optimize returns while managing risk.
Maximize contributions to 401(k), IRA, and Roth accounts to benefit from tax deferrals or tax-free growth.
Review and adjust your retirement plan annually. Life changes, market conditions, and goals evolve over time.
Factor in healthcare costs, which can be significant in retirement. Consider HSAs and long-term care insurance.
