Why start with retirement goals?
Investing for retirement doesn't have to be complicated. Begin by considering the lifestyle you envision in retirement. Most experts say you'll need roughly 70% to 80% of your current annual income to live comfortably. This could include sources such as Social Security and/or a pension, but it's probably wise to conclude that your personal savings will provide your primary source of income. A successful retirement savings plan starts with a few key points to develop a plan to achieve your goals.
