Retirement Planning Essentials

The 4% rule suggests you can safely withdraw 4% of your retirement portfolio annually without running out of money over a 30-year retirement. This means you need roughly 25 times your desired annual retirement income saved.

Employer matching is essentially free money. If your employer matches 50% of contributions up to 6% of salary, always contribute at least 6% to capture the full match. Not doing so is leaving guaranteed 50% returns on the table.

Starting early is the most powerful factor. Someone who starts saving $500/month at age 25 will have significantly more at 65 than someone who starts saving $1,000/month at age 35, despite contributing less total money. This is the power of compound growth over time.
