Retirement, a far off idea that you won’t have to worry about for a long time, right? Wrong.
Retirement should, and needs to be, on the minds of every working American (and worldwide) right now. History has shown that economic and financial stability is never guaranteed, especially now, with the current global pandemic wreaking havoc on economies across the globe and here within the United States. Finding and securing a successful career path complete with retirement benefits, alongside your own private retirement planning, is critical in today’s unstable economy.
Manufacturing Your Future
A career in manufacturing comes knitted with the always strived for job security. Job security allows you and your family to rest easy at night, knowing that income will steadily flow into your household. While money may not buy happiness, consistent cash flow certainly brings peace of mind and stress relief. Unfortunately, 78% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck every month, and a study by the American Psychological Association found that 60% of Americans feel stressed by money.
We’ve explored in other blogs how a career in manufacturing provides stable income and consistent job growth. With new training and other educational opportunities available to manufacturing workers, the sky is truly the limit when it comes to income and promotions. In this industry, you’ll go as far as you want, stopping only when you decide to stop. And, once you do decide to stop, you’ll want to make sure that you have a retirement fund waiting for you.
Retire Comfortably, Live to the Fullest
Putting consistent, growing, and stable income into your bank account is a surefire way to begin planning for your retirement. It may seem cliche to say, but it truly is never too early to start planning for retirement. So, let’s explore how a career in manufacturing can help you prepare for retirement and live comfortably during retirement.
On average, people retire at the age of 62, but that number can be misleading. The unfortunate truth is that 60% of retirees say goodbye to their jobs before being financially and adequately prepared. Ouch.
Setting aside income to invest in retirement isn’t only a good idea; it’s a necessity. If you want to ensure that you and your family live comfortably and to the fullest well into your golden years, you’ll want to make sure that you start thinking about retirement today.
Many manufacturing companies, such as Innovent Technologies also provide retirement benefits, such as matching 401K retirement planning, as a helpful way for you to start planning for retirement right when you start your position. While you should plan for retirement on your own as well, having your company care about your post-career wellbeing is an added bonus.
