plan ahead for the future you want
Retirement may be a ways off, but it’s a good idea to start saving now. You may have accounts with your employer or other outside investments, but a well-rounded retirement savings plan should include FDIC-insured savings. Even saving a small amount each month can add up with compound interest. The key to success is starting early.

And don't forget – you should re-evaluate your retirement plan on an ongoing basis. If you’ve had a life change recently (new job, marriage, divorce, etc.), it’s even more important to discuss your options.
