Making payments towards retirement doesn’t have to be difficult. Remember what you’re saving money for. You want to retire some day, so you can enjoy some golf and vacations when you get older without having to work.
There are few ways to fund your accounts. If you receive large bonuses, you could simply deposit them into your IRA or 401K and just live within your regular paycheck. That won’t be possible for everyone. Most of us calculate the amount to pay by dividing our maximum contribution amount by the number of pay periods per year. Basically, we’re taking the money out of our paychecks.
The key is to act like it’s not yours to spend. This is your fun money, so you can take the grandkids to Disneyworld and finally take the European cruise, without having to worry about where you’re going to live or how.
