| Set Your Retirement Goal |
To mark the new year, we often think about setting new goals, such as running a 5k or trying something new. We rarely think about goals that have an impact on us 20 to 30 years from now, like saving more for retirement. Setting a retirement goal means committing to a future you can count on, one where you have saved enough to live comfortably, as well as have fun. Saving in your 457(b) Deferred Compensation Plan can help take you even further.
Make saving your goal for 2018 and beyond. Try small increases over time, which can add up to big savings in the long run. You may even qualify for The Saver's Credit.
The Saver's Credit is an important tax credit that many American workers who save for retirement may be missing out on. The IRS' Retirement Savings Contributions Credit, also known as the Saver's Credit, is available to eligible taxpayers who are saving for retirement through a qualified retirement plan such as your 457(B) Deferred Compensation Plan. However, few American workers are aware of the credit.
