All About You
A Good Day to Start Saving
When is a good time to get serious about saving? Some Facts: Only about 48% of people in their twenties whose employers have a 401(k) plan participate in that plan. Only 40% of working couples currently are covered by pension plans, but 61% of workers expect to get income from a company pension plan.
Chapter 13-39

All About You
A Good Day to Start Saving
When is a good time to get serious about saving? More Facts: More than half of workers age 55 and older have less than $50,000 in retirement savings. 80% of individuals between the ages of 18 to 26 said that, if given $10,000, they would deposit the money into a traditional bank savings account rather than invest in the stock market.
Chapter 13-40

All About You
When you are 25 years old, if you start putting $300 per month into an investment earning 8%, by the age of 65 you will have accumulated more than $1 million.

Chapter 13-41

All About You
What Do You Think?
You·ve got $3,000 in credit card bills at an 18% interest rate. Your employer has a 401(k) plan in which it will match your contributions, up to 10% of your annual salary. Should you pay off your credit card bills before you start putting money into the 401(k)?
X

Paying off debt, thus avoiding 18% interest payments, is essentially equivalent to earning 18% on investments. Reducing your debts reduces your financial vulnerability. Take part of the money you would have used to pay off your debt each month and instead put it into the 401(k).
