We all know we should be planning for the future, but no judgment if you’re a fellow procrastinator. If you’re still on the fence about taking the next step… don’t be. It’s actually not too hard to get started – first, let’s bust a few myths.
It’s not as expensive to save for retirement as you might think.
There are lots of different types of plans that can be catered to your needs. According to Aviva, you can kickstart your retirement fund for as little as $39.95 a month; that’s less than a nice dinner for two!
Not sure how much you need for your retirement?
Use this handy retirement calculator to work out exactly how much money you’ll need, and how to start planning to save enough for your nest egg.
Long-term cash payments are not the only option…
Aviva offers plans that only require short-term payments – for example, you only need to make installments over a period of five years or even a one-time payment. Aviva’s MyRetirementChoice and MyIncomePlus are some great options to consider if you’re not a fan of long-term payments plans.
