Retirement Mistake 1:  

Not having a financial plan in place. Making big financial choices are an important part of life. Making sure you have a secure financial plan in place, and contributing regularly, can    set you up for success.  Be sure to reach out and make an appointment with one of our Advisors if you are ready to start the planning process.

Retirement Mistake 2:  

Not contributing to your 401(k) from the beginning or not rolling your 401(k) from your previous job. Contributing the maximum to meet your employer’s contribution is a crucial start to retirement. Read more about your 401(k) options here.

Retirement Mistake 3:  

Not taking advantage of different retirement accounts. One good thing about taking full advantage of retirement accounts (like 401(k)’s and IRA’s is that they enable your earnings to grow on a tax-deferred basis.
