Use ‘open enrollment’ to help meet financial goals
November is a popular month for
“open enrollment” — that time when you can choose from the options of- fered in your employer’s benefits package. By making the right moves in some key areas — such as your 401(k) and life insurance — you can help protect your family and boost your progress toward your long-term financial goals. Let’s consider your 401(k) first. If
you haven’t taken part in your 401(k) plan, you need to review the benefits of this excellent retirement-savings vehicle. First, you contribute pre-tax dollars to your 401(k), so the more you put in, the lower your adjusted gross income — and the lower your annual tax bill. Also, your 401(k) earnings ac- cumulate on a tax-deferred basis. So, if you’re not already invest-
ing in your 401(k), now is the time to get started. And if you’ve already been putting money in your 401(k), you may want to use the open enroll- ment period to increase your contri- butions or to rebalance your invest- ment choices in response to changes in investment performance or in your goals or risk tolerance. During open enrollment, you’ll
also want to look at your insurance choices. Your employer may offer a certain amount of life insurance, and possibly disability insurance, at no cost. Clearly, this coverage can be beneficial — but is it enough to meet your family’s needs? To answer this question, you’ll
need to review at least three key areas of your family’s finances:
• Debts — Try to calculate your
overall debt load — mortgage, car payments, credit cards and so on. • Education — If you are planning
on helping your children pay for col- lege, try to estimate these costs. Keep in mind the considerable differences in expenses between colleges: public versus private and in-state versus out- of-state. Keep in mind that college costs have been rising faster than the overall cost of living. • Income replacement — Try to
determine about how much of your income would need to be replaced for your family to maintain its current lifestyle. Once you’ve made these types of
calculations, you’ll be in a better posi- tion to know if the life and disability coverage offered by your employer is sufficient to meet your needs. You
might be able to purchase additional insurance through your employer, but even this coverage may not be enough. You may also find other advan-
tages to individually owned insur- ance, such as portability — you can take your policy with you, no matter where you work — and affordability — you may find that some policies, particularly term life insurance, may be less costly than the supplemental insurance you could purchase from your employer. So, review both your insurance
situation and your 401(k) plan during the open enrollment calendar.
