🌬️ Brrr, it’s cold here! Just got back from Savannah yesterday and had a whirlwind 12 hours before heading back to the airport. ✈️ These last few days have been amazing, but my body is officially running on caffeine and sheer willpower. 😅☕ . . . #TravelLife #ExhaustedButGrateful #CaffeineFix #ColdWeatherVibes

Retirement Myths: Let’s Set the Record Straight Don’t let these common misconceptions steer you off course! 🚫 Myth 1: “I’ll need $1M to retire.” ✅ Reality: The amount you need depends on your lifestyle, location, and goals. Start with 70-80% of your pre-retirement income as a guide and adjust based on your unique situation. 🚫 Myth 2: “I’m too young to save for retirement.” ✅ Reality: The earlier you start, the more you benefit from compound growth. Even small contributions in your 20s can make a huge difference later. 🚫 Myth 3: “Social Security will cover everything.” ✅ Reality: Social Security is designed to supplement your savings, not replace them. Make sure you’re building a solid nest egg. 🚫 Myth 4: “I can work forever if I need to.” ✅ Reality: Health or life circumstances may force early retirement. Plan for the unexpected so you’re not caught off guard. Knowledge is power! Which myth surprised you the most?

How Much Can You Save by Delaying Retirement? ⏳ Thinking about working a little longer before retiring? Here’s why it can seriously pay off: 1️⃣ More Time to Save Every extra year means more contributions to your retirement accounts. Even small additions can grow significantly over time thanks to compound interest. 2️⃣ Fewer Years to Fund Delaying retirement shortens the time you’ll need to rely on your savings, reducing the total you’ll need. 3️⃣ Higher Social Security Benefits For each year you delay claiming Social Security after full retirement age (up to age 70), your benefit increases by about 8%! Example: If you save $10,000/year and delay retirement by 3 years, you could add over $30,000 to your savings—plus growth from investments! Every extra year counts.

Are You Missing Out on Employer 401(k) Matches? An employer match is free money for your retirement! Many companies match a percentage of what you contribute to your 401(k)—but only if you’re contributing enough to qualify. Example: If your employer offers a 100% match up to 5% of your salary, and you make $50,000, contributing 5% means you get an extra $2,500 a year! Don’t leave money on the table: •Check your plan to see the match details. •Adjust your contributions to maximize the match. Not sure where to start? Let’s chat! What do you think?
