Tips For Planning Your Retirement
How do we know how to save?
There are many calculators to help you decide, because depending on your age and your expenses will vary the amount provided. Another thing you should consider is the inflation of the money because a dollar today is 97 cents in a year (assuming 3%). Many experts suggest you save 10% of your salary for retirement, but even if your company has a plan equals (Matching Program, such as 401k or TSP). At the very least you should save the amount that your company will match, and will give you twice what you put (as long as Dures the last time you have to work for the company.) Check the person’s retirement plan your company to see what you need.
If you have no retirement plan at work, open a Roth IRA (individual retirement account) and contributes 10% of your gross salary to this account. If you ‘re almost retiring, could contribute twice in order to accumulate more money for retirement. The goal would be to have enough money in these accounts can withdraw only the interest it generates in income to supplement your pension.
For example, if your monthly expenses are $ 2,000 dollars and you will receive $ 1,200 pension, you should have money in retirement accounts to be able to withdraw $ 9.600 dollars per year. If 5% is $ 9.600 dollars, you should have about $ 200,000 in a retirement account that will generate a 5% per year in interest. If you have 30 years to have $ 200,000 in an account just have to save about $ 150 a month (8% annual return for 30 years, $ 223,000) to withdraw $ 800 a month after you retire.
Retirement Plan
I’m sure many of you have talked to their parents and grandparents about their retirement plan and many of them have said something more like this: “As long as you send me something every month I’ll be fine.” The reason for this is that the withdrawal plan “traditional” in our culture used to be living a simple life in which parents (and older) children depend for survival (as it is fair to all the work that cost them raise us .)
Unfortunately this is changing and more than ever we must plan our retirement and securing various forms of income to live a dignified life in our old age. But how should we save for it? Les I have an idea:
What the experts say.
Experts say that your income after you retire should be around 80% of what you want now. Of course, this varies depending on the lifestyle you wear before and after you leave.
To me matters more how much you spend.
I like the 80% figure that means that maybe 20% are things that you will not spend money (such as transportation, food at work, etc.) But also means that a percentage of this is money not will be allocated to save. The retirement age is the age to spend what you have, moderately clear. Then you could base everything you need in what we plan to spend each month after you retire.
