Keep in mind...
- A well-diversified portfolio can help balance risk
- The earlier you start investing, the more you can
contribute over the course of your working
lifetime
- By starting early, your investments will have a
longer period of time to compound
- With a longer time frame, you will have a larger
choice of investment possibilities

Why save for
retirement?
Because people are living longer. According to
the U.S. Administration on Aging, in 2002, persons
reaching age 65 had an average life expectancy of
an additional 18.2 years.* And since Social Security
accounts for only 39 percent of total aggregate income for
aged persons,** Social Security alone may not be enough to see you through your retirement
years.
