Don’t Be ‘Ridiculous’
Submitted by AFS Wealth Management on April 6th, 2015The other day while I was driving, I thought about a recent report I read concerning Americans and their IRAs. According to the TIAA-CREF annual survey on individual retirement accounts and Americans’ savings habits, only 8 percent responded that making contributions to their IRA is a priority with their retirement savings. This is probably because the #1 motivation for saving money relates to short-term expenses—like housing, appliances or a car—rather than saving for retirement.
