FAQ
The Montgomery County Employees' Retirement System (the “Plan”) is a source of your retirement income. Along with Social Security and your other financial resources, it can help you enjoy retirement. This booklet provides a summary of the Plan.
You can receive Social Security retirement benefits as early as age 62. However, we'll reduce your benefit if you start receiving benefits before your full retirement age. For example, if you turn age 62 in 2025, your benefit would be about 30% lower than it would be at your full retirement age of 67.
Set age-based retirement savings goals. Age 40 — Have saved an amount equal to three times your annual salary. Age 50 — Have saved an amount equal to six times your annual salary. Age 60 — Have saved an amount equal to eight times your annual salary. Age 67 — Have saved an amount equal to 10 times your annual salary.
By withdrawing 7% of your retirement savings annually, you can create a steady income stream while maintaining your nest egg for as long as possible. This blog post will break down how the 7 Percent Rule works, its benefits, and how you can use it to simplify your retirement planning with confidence.
What does the 4% rule do? It's intended to make sure you have a safe retirement withdrawal rate and don't outlive your savings in your final years. By pulling out only 4% of your total funds and allowing the rest of your investments to continue to grow, you can budget a safe withdrawal rate for 30 years or more.
Is retirement compulsory in private companies? There is no official retirement age in the private sector. However, employees can retire at the age of 58 or 60 based on their employment contract, employer's policies, or mutual agreement with the employer.
The general rule of thumb is to save at least 15% of your pre-tax income for retirement. However, it's essential to consider individual factors such as your age, income and desired retirement lifestyle.
In summary, while the general expectation is that one would need approximately 45 years of work in a hard-working job like construction before retiring at age 65, individual circumstances such as health issues and financial readiness can greatly influence this timeline.
By age 40, you should have accumulated three times your current income for retirement. By retirement age, it should be 10 to 12 times your income at that time to be reasonably confident that you'll have enough funds. Seamless transition — roughly 80% of your pre-retirement income.
