Retirement Planning Tips Through the Years

Investment decisions are often life stage-specific. We tend to have the least amount of money to save and the most tolerance for risk in our younger years. The key is to learn how to balance those factors effectively throughout time.

The Early Years

As a young adult between the ages of 21 and 35, you are in a better position to take risks, but you have not reached your full earning potential. A great way to take advantage of this time is to take part in your employer-sponsored plans like a 401(k) or 403(b). If your employer doesn't offer these plans, we can show you how to affordably start one of your own. This is specifically one of the best times to start a savings account, even a small contribution monthly will offer big returns over a long time horizon.

The Working Years

When you’re between the ages of 36 to 50, you’re possibly raising a family and may have been working with the same company for many years. This is the time to focus on your employer-sponsored retirement plans, perhaps even increase your contributions as your life expenses will allow. We will want to put into place a way to reduce taxes in retirement, and it's time to start paying down debt or hefty payments that you will not want to carry into retirement. This is also a prime time to look at life insurance as an investment tool. At ZARA Financial Group, we have introduced many of our clients in this life stage, to tax-free, income producing, life insurance policies that become a permanent and reliable income stream at retirement, while providing a life insurance component in case you are not there to provide for your loved ones.
