Ways To Save and Invest More in 2022

During January and February, we like to help clients identify proactive ways to start the year off right and save more.
Perhaps you…
- Received a bonus or a raise and need guidance on how to save or invest the additional cash;
- Have a tax refund coming to you; or
- Want to consider ways to save more this year.
Whatever the case may be, no better time than the beginning of the year to set your intentions and establish good habits to ensure you save for your financial goals or to help a loved one do the same.
Identifying available savings opportunities and prioritizing across accounts can be complex and overwhelming. For example, do you know whether you are eligible for and taking full advantage of pre-tax health care savings accounts, such as HSAs and FSAs? Are you optimizing your retirement savings, choosing between traditional and Roth options, obtaining the total amount of any employer match, and maximizing your contributions?
To help you spot ways to save more this year, we have a checklist that outlines more than 15 strategies to consider when you have surplus cash or savings on hand.
While the checklist can help you identify different opportunities, we are always available to meet with you to discuss your finances and goals and determine what options best suit your unique circumstances.
Don’t hesitate to contact us and schedule a time to discuss this further.
Happy investing,
Marcos
