When should you retire?
Saving for Retirement
It’s how people save to buy a home, send the kids to college, and retire in comfort. During your working years, take a portion of your paycheck and send it via direct deposit into a separate, special account. If you don’t see it, you might not miss it. As this money accumulates, move it to more long-term investments consistent with your risk profile and time horizon. With all these goals, retirement especially, time is your friend. Properly invested, money has the opportunity to grow. Do you know your retirement shortfalls? Use this calculator to help you determine if you have a retirement shortfall.
Shifting investment styles
When you’re just starting to save and invest for your retirement, you may be like many people: comfortable accepting greater volatility and risk for the possibility of greater gain. As you approach retirement, you may have far less tolerance for ups and downs. Investors tend to shift to more conservative decisions, because losses just prior to retirement can be challenging -- and leave you little time to make it up with some unknown future gain. Prior to shifting your investment styles it's important to understand your current asset mix.
