Financial professional James Gallagher, owner of Waterstone Financial, has some tips you need to know about your retirement savings. The latest revision in congress leave the retirement savings in tact without any changes. However, it is still important you plan for your retirement. You can get a tax deduction of up to $18, 500. There is also often an employer match, and you can even roll it into an IRA when you switch jobs. Gallagher suggests saving 10 times more than you make in a year by the time you retire.
