Life Stages

Financial Considerations for Each Life Stage:

In Your 20s:

• Start Early: Begin saving and investing early, recognizing that time is valuable in wealth-building.
• Career Focus: Your career is a primary source of wealth; focus on establishing yourself in your chosen field.
• Explore 401(k): If available, consider a 401(k) plan through your employer. Otherwise, explore Traditional or Roth IRAs for retirement savings.

In Your 30s:

• Consistent Contributions: Continue contributing to retirement accounts; increase contributions if possible.

In Your 50s:

• Top Earning Years: Leverage your maximum income-earning years. Explore insurance products and tax-deferred investments.
• Tax Planning: Assess your tax situation and explore strategies to optimize tax benefits.
• Catch-Up Contributions: Take advantage of catch-up contributions allowed in retirement accounts.

In Your 60s:

• Withdrawal Strategy: Develop a thoughtful strategy for withdrawing funds during retirement to optimize tax implications.
• Cash Flow Analysis: Examine your cash flow to ensure a comfortable retirement lifestyle.
• Estate Planning: Begin exploring estate planning considerations, including property division and asset distribution.

In Your 70s:
