A common rule of thumb is to save 10–15% of your income throughout your working years, but the exact amount depends on factors like lifestyle, retirement age, and expected expenses. An advisor can create a personalized plan for you.
All investments carry some level of risk, but risk varies depending on the type of investment. Diversification, spreading your money across different asset classes, helps manage risk while still allowing for growth.
Diversification means not putting all your money into one type of investment. By balancing stocks, bonds, and other assets, you can reduce risk and improve long-term returns.
