Have You Thought about Retirement?
It is closer than you think!
Today is a good day to evaluate if you have saved enough money to live comfortably in retirement.
If you haven’t started a savings plan, this is a good time to begin with as little as $10 a payday. And if you are a full time employee, the University will match 50% of your contributions to the 457 or 403(b) Plan or $20 per pay day, whichever is less. If you are already participating, evaluate if you can save more to increase your retirement income.
