2008 Resolution #1: Save for Retirement

2008 is here! It’s the time of year where we all make our resolutions for the New Year and do our best to stick to them.

What’s your 2008 resolution?

The most common New Year resolutions are to live a healthier life, work towards advancing ones career or learn something new. One resolution that we don’t hear often enough is to start building a nest egg.

Many people start feeling intimidated when they think about retirement savings and don’t know where to begin or how much they need to save. Our professional AIG Financial Advisors at Arizona Federal can take the stress out of planning your financial future with a variety of investment products and personalized service. They can help you put together a retirement savings plan based on your financial needs and retirement goals. To get your retirement savings plan off to a successful start, we offer a couple of options – Traditional and ROTH Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs).

IRAs are a great option because they allow you to save for your retirement and benefit from tax advantages at the same time.

• Traditional IRAs are tax-deferred which means you do not pay taxes until distribution.
   
• ROTH IRAs are tax-exempt which means you pay taxes today—not when you withdraw the funds in the future.

The best thing you can do for yourself and your loved ones is to get a head start on your retirement and start saving today. If you’re interested in learning more about retirement savings or you’d like to make building your nest egg your 2008 resolution, our professional AIG Financial Advisors can help you. To contact one of our financial advisors, call (602) 683-1000 or (800) 523-4603 if calling from outside Maricopa County. You can also click here to request an appointment.
