The Queen of Soul. Growing up in the 1980's this is the Aretha I grew to love, although my parents played her earlier recordings as well this album truly is part of the soundtrack of my youth. Who's Zoomin' Who is still one of my favorite cuts by Aretha hands down!! Biography.
If your employer doesn't offer a retirement plan, you can always start by putting money in a traditional IRA or Roth IRA. But if you have access to a 401(k) or other employer plan, and your 401(k) offers a matching contribution, that's usually the best place to start. For example, let's say you make $115,000 per year.
Today I want to provide slightly more tactical advice. As a percentage of your income, how much should you contribute to your 401(k)? If youâre in debt? If you can also do a Roth IRA? If your employer does not match funds? The two fundamental rules of retirement savings. Here are two rules that will apply to almost everyone: 1  If your employer matches 401(k) funds, contribute enough to get the full match. 2  Next, if you can contribute to a Roth IRA, work on contributing the full $5,500 a year to that account before you contribute any extra to your 401(k) (aside from whatâs necessary to get the employer match). This will give you a nice cushion of tax-free cash in retirement.
