A Quick Note on Inflation
The inflation rate that matters most is the one you experience. If the items you buy most often are increasing in price, it is useful to have a strategy for those changes. Even if your costs are currently stable, it is still a good time to review your approach, as economic conditions can change.

This is a hypothetical example used for illustrative purposes only. Your Expected Pre-Retirement Annual Rate of Return and Expected Post-Retirement Annual Rate of Return will vary over time. Investing involves risks, and investment decisions should be based on your own goals, time horizon, and tolerance for risk.
