Most of us spend decades focused on how much we save. Far fewer of us think about where we save it.
Your retirement savings generally fall into three tax buckets:
🟢 Tax-Free
Money that may be available in retirement without creating additional taxable income.
🔴 Tax-Deferred
Money you may receive a tax benefit on today, but generally pay taxes on when you withdraw it later.
🟣 Taxable
Money that may be taxed along the way through interest, dividends, or capital gains.
On National Savings Day, it’s worth remembering that saving is only part of the equation. Where your money sits can make a big difference when it’s time to start taking income.
Saving is step one. Keeping more of what you’ve saved is step two.
