\"F&MClarksville, TN<\/strong> – There is so much to consider when planning for the retirement you envision, but fortunately one of the most impactful steps you can take is also the easiest: Automating your savings.<\/p>\n

Actively moving money into a retirement account each month takes willpower and discipline, and can lead to missed or minimized contributions. By automating your savings directly from your paycheck, you have the opportunity to save for your future in a worry-free way.<\/p>\n

\"Saving<\/a>

Saving early and often can help you reach your retirement saving goals.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Put it on Autopilot<\/h3>\n

Putting away a small amount every month can make a huge difference when you\u2019re ready to retire. For every $100.00 you contribute each month to an investment vehicle that averages an annual rate of return of even just 6% over the long term, that translates to more than $46,000 saved over 20 years, and almost $197,000 over the course of 40 years of working. With regularly scheduled contributions, you\u2019ll also be able to take advantage of the long-term benefits of dollar-cost averaging.<\/p>\n

This is a hypothetical illustration and is not intended to reflect the actual performance of any particular security.<\/em><\/p>\n

Automatically Increase Contributions<\/h3>\n

When you\u2019re starting out, aiming to reach the widely accepted goal of a 15% retirement savings rate can seem daunting \u2013 but you don\u2019t have to get there immediately. Say you start with the 3% contribution most employers match in their employee plans. If they\u2019ll match your 3%, you\u2019ve just covered 6% of your retirement savings goal when you add in your contribution, too. And by automatically increasing the amount you deduct from your paycheck by 1% every year or more whenever you earn a bonus, get a raise or get promoted, your savings will advance and grow as your career does.<\/p>\n

By automatically saving a portion of your salary every time a paycheck comes your way, you\u2019ll be better prepared for the challenges and opportunities to come. And by working with your financial advisor as you prepare to save, you can choose an investment allocation that\u2019s appropriate for your phase of life. With the benefits of automatic saving, you and your loved ones will be moving in the right direction toward the retirement you\u2019ve envisioned. <\/i><\/p>\n

Investing involves risk and you may incur a profit or loss regardless of strategy selected.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
