An employer-sponsored retirement plan is one of your most powerful tools  for pursuing a comfortable retirement. If your employer offers a 401k, then you should  take full advantage of the benefits.  For example, money invested in your  401(k) has tax deferred has growth potential.  In addition, the money is only taxable after you begin taking withdrawals in retirement.  Finally, by making pre-tax  contributions to your retirement plan, you also reduce your income each  year.  As a result, your annual tax bill is lowered.

Even if your retirement is years away, advance planning has many benefits.  In addition to helping you evaluate current savings, it helps you estimate how much income you need for a comfortable retirement.  Last but not least, advance planning can help you remedy  any potential income shortfalls.

Prudent financial strategy can help you both set financial goals and build strategies.  For most Americans, a comfortable retirement is the primary objective. The first step is to create a written financial plan.  In addition to retirement planning, it may also include purchasing a house, paying for college, or even eliminating debt.  All things considered, preparing for a satisfying retirement has many additional benefits.
