Saving – “Pay Yourself First” It might be difficult to imagine saving if your budget is tight, but saving is easy if you plan for it and make it part of your spending plan. If your employer offers a 401(k) plan, join it, and contribute at least as much as your employer will match. Contribute the max if you can. Your contributions are pre-tax, so you might not miss the money from your take-home check. If your employer does not offer a 401(k) plan, open an IRA yourself. #yogeshbansal #financialplanning #saving

If your company offers a 401(k) match, this one's for you. When you defer part of your salary, are you spreading it out monthly to max out in December?If so, you're likely in good shape. But if you're maxing out your contributions earlier in the year, you might be MISSING OUT on some of your employers match. Unless your plan has a "true-up" provision. I've had clients who didn't realize they were leaving thousands of dollars on the table! This is just one example of the proactive planning we do beyond managing assets. We engage with our clients in two ways: through fee-for-advice (without taking custody of assets) or with a standard AUM model that includes comprehensive planning beyond the assets we manage. That's (one of) the advantages of using an advisor, even though, "your all set" there are most probably areas of planning you are missing. Do you contribute to your 401(k)? #401(k) #FinancialPlanning #LifeInsurance #WealthManagement

𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗧𝗼𝗼 𝗟𝗮𝘁𝗲! If you’re contributing to a plan with their employer like a 401(k), 403(b), or HSA, check your pay stub—especially with the 12/31 contribution deadline coming up. I’ve seen people make simple mistakes with these: 👉🏼 They thought they were adding to a Roth 401(k) but ended up in a regular 401(k) instead. 👉🏼 They expected their 403(b) would be maxed out by now, but it wasn’t. 👉🏼 They signed up for an FSA when they meant to sign up for an HSA. Each paystub has a year-to-date summary that shows where all your money’s going. I recommend my clients do this every 6 months, but at the very least, try to review it once a year around this time. #JayeSubramanian #CPA #ConsultVera
