Start saving today, no matter where you are in your career. You’ll likely need 70 - 80% of your pre-retirement income to retire comfortably—and you’ll need that income as long as you live. Your employer’s retirement plan is one of the best ways to save for retirement.
Your financial priorities can change throughout your life. Saving for retirement. Mortgage. Paying down debt. Save for both short- and long-term goals. Keep an emergency fund of at least 6 months of expenses
Provide benefits should a qualifying terminal, chronic or critical illness or critical injury occur. Realize your desire to have an income that you cannot outlive.
