Enroll in Retirement Plan

Are you taking full advantage of one of your best job perks yet? LIFE’s retirement plan provides many great benefits, but getting the most out of it requires that you put something into it.

Here are five tips for putting the power of the plan to work for you:

Tip #1: Get in early
As soon as you’re eligible, enroll in your plan. Putting it off even one or two years can make a big difference in your savings balance over time.

Tip #2: Save consistently
Your plan makes it easy to contribute every pay period with convenient payroll deductions — helping ensure that you don’t miss the market’s best performing days.

Tip #3: Gradually increase your savings
As you earn more, try to put a greater percentage of your pay into your plan. Why not 2% more each year — striving to reach a savings level of 12% or more?

Tip #4: Invest wisely
Be sure to review your plan’s investment options and select those that best align with your personal situation and preferences.

Tip #5: Talk with a professional
Have questions about your investments? Want to find out if you’re saving enough to meet your goals? Simply contact your retirement plan representative for these answers — and more!
