How to Realistically Save for Retirement
Saving for retirement can be simplified by automating transfers into a 401(k) plan or IRA. Experts advise saving 10% to 15% of income, focusing on long-term, diversified investments. Employer 401(k) matches and tax advantages make these plans valuable, and IRAs offer flexibility and broader investment options.
