3 Why Save For The Future? A financially secure retirement will most likely require savings throughout your career. Fidelity estimates that you may need as much as 85%* of your preretirement income in retirement to meet your basic needs. By the time you reach age 67, you should at least have 10x your annual income in retirement savings. The average Social Security benefit replaces less than 20% of preretirement income.** * Fidelity Retirement Index, Fidelity Investments, **Source: Social Security Administration, February 2009 Report entitled Income of the Population 55 or Older, Data is taken from table Shares of Aggregate Income for Units 65 or older using highest quintile $50,064 per year and higher. 3 3
