Financial Literacy Tips

  • The earlier you start saving, the more compound interest works in your favor — even small amounts add up significantly over decades.
  • A common rule of thumb is the "4% withdrawal rule" — in retirement you can withdraw 4% of your portfolio per year and it should last 30 years.
  • Tax-advantaged accounts like a 401(k) or Roth IRA let your money grow without annual taxes, dramatically increasing your ending balance.
  • If your employer offers a 401(k) match, always contribute at least enough to capture the full match — it is free money.
  • Increasing your monthly contribution by even $50 can add tens of thousands of dollars to your retirement balance over 20–30 years.
  • Social Security can supplement — but rarely replace — personal retirement savings. Plan to cover at least 70–80% of needs from personal savings.
