Earlier, when the economy was at its peak, it was believed that about 10% of your income should be invested towards retirement.

Adjustments may have to be made to our retirement accounts since you wish to want to make the most after tax wealth. As we see fluctuations in stocks and mutual bonds, guaranteed investments are necessary.
