Frequently Asked Questions

How much do I need to save for retirement?

A common rule of thumb is 10-12 times your annual income by age 65. Actual needs depend on lifestyle, healthcare costs, and life expectancy.

What is the 4% rule?

The 4% rule suggests withdrawing 4% of your portfolio annually (adjusted for inflation) to avoid running out of money for 30 years.

When should I start saving?

The earlier you start, the more compound interest works for you. Ideally, start in your 20s and save 10-15% of income.

What retirement accounts should I use?

Max out 401(k) matches first, then Roth IRA for tax-free growth, then maximize 401(k). HSAs are also valuable retirement vehicles.

How does Social Security factor in?

Social Security typically replaces 40-60% of pre-retirement income. However, benefits may change, so don't rely solely on them.
