 Have you started planning for the future?
 Looking for a good reason to start planning for the future? WE'LL GIVE YOU 10!
  1. Your responsibility for saving money is increasing.
  2. We're relying heavily on social security. 
  3. You'll need more than you think. 
  4. We're saving less.  
  5. Unrealistic expectations.  
  6. Many of us haven't calculated our retirement needs.
  7. We're living longer now, and we're going to live even longer in the future.
  8. We're living more years in retirement.
  9. Retirees are spending more.
  10. Time = Money.
Without having well-thought, documented objectives for financial security, it can be very difficult to tell whether you have really succeeded or are simply content with your status quo. Developing a good financial plan can have a significant financial benefit. Instead of money controlling you, you control it - and your future.

IRA Contribution Amounts

Recent changes in tax law provide you a greater opportunity to set aside more dollars for retirement by raising contribution limits on tax-advantaged IRAs and company retirement plans. 

The maximum annual contribution for individual retirement accounts  (including Roth IRAs) will begin to increase up to $5,000 in the year 2008 (see table), after which the limit will be indexed to inflation in $500 increments. In addition, the new law allows people age 50 and over to make “catch-up” contributors of up to $500 per year from

2002 through 2005, and up to $1,000 for 2006 and later.

                                                                          *Age 50+

Over the next few years the maximum amount a participant under age 50 can contribute to a 401 (k) or (b) plan will gradually increase to $15,000 in 2007. For those people age 50 and above the amount will increase to $20,000 in 2007.
