Key Retirement Planning Milestones:
A Timeline for Achievement
Every birthday is special—but these are particularly important for retirement planning.
Take advantage of these key milestones to help ramp up your retirement assets as you prepare for retirement or help make the most of your retirement income distributions while in retirement.
Last Chance to Accumulate
A golden opportunity to start making catch-up contributions to your qualified employer-sponsored retirement plan (up to $7,500 more in 2023) or Individual Retirement Account (up to $1,000 more in 2023) annually.
Have your cake and eat it, too. If you're no longer working, you may be able to access money from a 401(k) plan without penalties.[1]
Celebrate! You may be able to withdraw money from your 401(k) or traditional Individual Retirement Account without penalties.
Transitioning to Retirement
If you need to, you can start claiming Social Security at 62. (But be careful—for many people, there are good reasons to delay. As it stands today, benefits will increase about 8% for every year you wait.)
Happy Medicare day! Did you know you can actually sign up three months before your 65th birthday? Consider this and the potential impact it could have on your premiums.
Congratulations—you've hit full Social Security retirement age! Of course, whether you keep working is up to you. (Born before 1959? You qualify at 66 and two months for every year after 1954 until 1960. Born in 1959? 66 and ten months. Born any later, and you have to wait for age 67.)
Taking Income Distributions
Last call for Social Security—if you haven't started getting benefits, it's time. At age 70, Social Security maxes out at 132% of the initial full benefit.
