How can you save more for retirement?

Supplement your savings with an IRA.

• Are you contributing as much as you can to your retirement plan?
• Is your spouse not covered by a retirement plan?

Then consider supplementing your retirement savings by contributing to a Traditional or Roth IRA.

THINGS TO CONSIDER

• For 2012, you can save up to $16,500 in your employer-sponsored plan. If you’re age 50+, you can save up to $22,000.
• If your salary exceeds the limits for a Roth IRA, you can always open a Traditional IRA. While your contributions may not be tax-deductible, they will still grow tax deferred.
