Retirement Planning Lessons
Lesson 1: Compound Interest
Compound interest allows your savings to grow exponentially over time by earning interest on both the principal and accumulated interest. Starting early maximizes this effect.
Lesson 2: 401(k) Plans
A 401(k) is an employer-sponsored retirement plan where contributions are made pre-tax, reducing taxable income. Many employers match contributions, boosting savings.
