PREPARE FOR YOUR FUTURE YOU CAN’T RELY ONLY ON SOCIAL SECURITY Financial experts say you’ll need from 70% to 90% of your pre-retirement income to maintain your standard of living in retirement. Where will it come from? Today, Social Security accounts for just over one-third of the income of the average retired American.

PREPARE FOR YOUR FUTURE A LITTLE MORE CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE LATER Can’t afford to save right now? Even a small amount invested on a regular basis can make a difference over time. Investors often find ways to lower household expenses to allow for higher savings. START SAVING EARLY Start saving as much as you can, as early as you can. Try to work up to the percentage that provides the maximum matching dollars from your employer. Consider increasing your contribution just 1% a year, each year. For example, suppose you contribute $300 per month to your traditional 401(k) and earn an average annual 8 percent rate of return. If you participate for 20 years, the account could be worth $178,184. But if you had started 10 years earlier and contributed at the same rate for 30 years, your account could be worth nearly three times that — $450,388. Turn to page 3 in your enrollment kit

INVESTMENT OPTIONS A LITTLE MORE CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE LATER Selecting investments is a personal choice based on how much risk you are comfortable with and how many years you will invest your money. Picking the most suitable investments is easier if you know the three most common types of investments: Equity investments are ownership in one or more companies. Bond investments are loans to government entities or companies that usually pay interest regularly until they mature. Money market investments are short-term loans to a government or highly rated company Turn to page 4 in your enrollment kit
