Disclaimer: Good Day, Readers. WealthBuildingPowers blog is a financial literacy/competency blog and does not provide specific investment recommendations.
I HEAR PEOPLE MUMBLE – “I CAN’T AFFORD TO CONTRIBUTE THE MAXIMUM” – NOT ASKING YOU TO!
The below shows how much you can potentially accumulate in 35 years by saving ONLY $6,000.00 annually- IF you ARE SMART ENOUGH TO START EARLY!
ASSUMPTIONS
- Current Compensation: $75,000.00
- Your Contribution Rate: Eight Percent {8%} = $6,000.00 annually and ONLY 29% of 2022 Maximum Contribution Limit
- Employer Match: Three Percent {3%} – WHY, PLEASE TELL ME WOULD YOU NOT TAKE THREE PERCENT OF YOUR PAY?
- Annual Returns: Ten Percent {10%}
- Investment: S&P 500 ETF {VOO}
- Years to Retirement: 35 {HEY-Share this with your brilliant kids. I have a terrible joke-will spare you today!}
- Projected Funds at Retirement: $3,139.529.00. {Can I get an A-AMEN A-AMEN; A-AMEN, AMEN, AMEN- HALLELUJAH!}
SHOULD YOU TARGET THE MAXIMUM CONTRIBUTION TO YOUR 401-K?
The simple answer is YES! If you can afford it by EARNING MORE THAN YOU SPEND!
I know $20,500 is a lot of money. I did not hit the maximum amount until sometime in my 30s. Whatever your percentage, you MUST match your employer’s contribution offers. Too many Americans leave money on the table by not taking the FREE money their employer has offered.” You cannot give away free money! If you want to do that, reach out, and I will give you my mailing address!
For those who have reached the maximum – {YOU FRUGAL FOLKS ROCK!}, there are other tax-advantaged retirement accounts available, including a traditional and ROTH IRA. I LOVE the ROTH IRA. In a Roth IRA, you do not get a tax deduction on the money you put into the plan, but you NEVER EVER must pay tax on any of the $$$$$$$$!. EVER PEOPLE!
THE MAGIC OF COMPOUNDING AND TIME!
Warren Buffett, CEO and Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, calls compounding “MAGIC”. The earlier you or your kids start, the faster you get to YOUR FINANCIAL FREEDOM!
EXAMPLE #2 ASSUMPTIONS
- Current Compensation: $75,000.00
- Annual Savings: $8,000.00 = 39% of 2022 MAXIMUM
- Employer Match: Three Percent {3%}
- Annual Returns: Ten Percent {10%}
- Investment: S&P 500 ETF {VOO}
- Retirement AGE: 65
- YOUR FINANCIAL FREEDOM: The below chart demonstrates if YOU start contributions at the age of 25, you will have ~$4,536,573.00 at the age of 65. {HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH, HA-LL-EL-UJAH!}
- The longer YOU wait to get started, the less money you accumulate.
Regardless of your current age, JUST GET STARTED!
CONCLUSION: IRS INCREASES 401(k) LIMITS FOR 2022 – WHY ARE YOU STILL SITTING THERE? MOVE!
Maxing out my 401-K contributions allowed me to achieve FINANCIAL FREEDOM!
I GUARANTEE YOU WILL NEVER REGRET FUNDING YOUR 401-K! If you do, I am happy to take some of your MILLIONS off your hands! I know how annoying those taxes can be!
