Save for Retirement Like A Pro
Start saving as soon as possible to grow your retirement account.
Begin with small contributions, if necessary, and increase contributions over time.
Make setting aside money for retirement a habit.
Understand investment returns may fluctuate.
Let it sit. Avoid penalties by leaving funds in your 401(k) until retirement.
If you change jobs, you can roll over your retirement account.
ScholarShare 529
The Section 529 plan through TIAA Tuition Financing Inc. provides a tax-advantaged way for you to save for
college. You contribute to an account on an after-tax basis and use the money to pay for qualified expenses
(e.g., tuition, books, room, and board) for you or a child.
Your earnings in the account will be free from any federal (and, in most cases, state) income taxes. For more
