RESOURCES

How much money will you need for retirement?

The amount may surprise you. Experts say you may need as much as 80 to 100 percent of your pre-retirement income to sustain your standard of living. Traditional pension plans and social security benefits may not be enough. Rising health care costs and longer life-expectancy rates require an active approach to retirement planning.

Recognizing this, the Office of Human Resources wants to help you save now. With the assistance of retirement specialists, we're offering a series of seminars the week of November 2nd designed to help you test your retirement health and find ways to improve it. The events will help you answer some key questions:

Where can I find money to save for retirement?
Am I saving enough to reach my goals?
How do I take advantage of UB’s supplemental retirement plans?

All sessions are 12 - 1:30 p.m. and we are providing lunch. Space is limited. Please R.S.V.P. online using the links on the left. We hope you'll join us.
