Benefits

Benefits may decline in the future as the ratio of workers paying into the system to retirees collecting benefits continues to fall.

Benefits do not typically increase annually, and if they do, they generally do so at a rate that is below inflation.

Inflation reduces your purchasing power A dollar today will almost certainly be worth less at retirement because of inflation.

INVESTIGATE THE OPTIONS Investing for retirement is up to you. It is important to maximize your retirement and personal investments to help ensure you enjoy the lifestyle during retirement that you envision. Leverage the power of tax deferral There are a number of ways to help you achieve the goals you have for retirement.

Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) One of the most popular ways is by taking advantage of Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), which offer the benefits of tax deferral. With an IRA, any earnings grow on a tax-deferred basis, meaning that you do not have to pay taxes on the earnings until you make withdrawals.† This provision allows the account’s growth potential to increase, which could conceivably generate a greater overall return.

Create an investment strategy

Determine how much you will need Give careful consideration not only to everyday expenses but also to health care expenses.

Review your budget By reviewing your budget, you can determine how you can best save for retirement.

Start investing now The sooner you get started with investing for retirement, the better.



Please note that if account proceeds are distributed prior to age 59½, earnings may be subject to an additional tax. 4

Which Type of IRA Is Right for You? Retirement

which type of ira is right for you? Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) help investors save for retirement by providing a significant tax advantage over conventional investment accounts. Both Traditional and Roth IRAs allow investors to build and manage investment portfolios without owing any current taxes on any interest, dividends and capital gains generated by investments while inside the IRA. While both types of IRAs offer this tax advantage, there are significant differences between Traditional and Roth IRAs.
