How to Have a Clean Bill of Retirement Health
Managing your retirement bill of health is a lot like taking care of your physical health. With some planning and a little consitency and self-discipline, you can get the job done. Here are three keys to keeping your retirement plan fiscally fit:
1) Get an annual checkup.
Do an annual review of your retirement plan - just like you do for your health by going to the doctor for an annual physical. Reassess your goals and make
sure your savings and investments are still in line to support those goals.
2) Exercise and watch what you eat.
Being disciplined is a key to a good physical health. For retirement health, being disciplined about saving regularly is the key. Be sure to put your
monthly retirement plan contributions (at work and on your own) on autopilot to prevent any funding missteps. Have the amounts drafted right out of your account.
3) Use preventative medicine wisely.
Taking vitamins is a great way to prevent health problems down the road. To prevent retirement health problems, take advantage of tax-advantaged vehicles like
employer retirement plans and IRA's-they will save you a bundle in taxes and help your savings grow faster over time.
