    Special Message from Voya: As the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and recent market volatility begins to have an increased impact on our communities, we want to assure you that Voya is here to support you. We have a central location with education, tools and resources to help you navigate the uncertainty today and keep saving for your best life.
     

    Key steps and considerations as you are starting out.

    Getting to where you want to go will depend on the choices you make today. We know you have many priorities competing for your money. Use the following step-by-step list to help you achieve a better state of financial wellness.

    Think about this: what will happen to your savings if illness or injury interrupts your income?

    A leading cause of personal bankruptcies in the United States is not having coverage if you become ill or have an accident. You can protect your savings and provide yourself with income by getting health and disability insurance.

    If you are working and your employer offers health and disability insurance, be sure to take advantage of opportunities to enroll in that coverage through your employer. If not, explore your health care options and research disability insurance providers online.

    Knowing where your money goes can help you spend wisely and save consistently. Get started by building your budget with the Budget Calculator.

    Build an emergency fund
    Life is full of surprises. Shield yourself from the unexpected by building an emergency fund to cover 3-6 months of expenses. To help save time, take advantage of automated saving options.

    Save for retirement
    Consistently saving as much as you can for retirement now will pay off later.

    • Contribute to your employer-sponsored retirement plan or open an IRA.
    • If your employer offers matching contributions, take advantage of them.
    • Consider a Roth IRA or Roth contributions to your employer’s retirement plan for a more flexible way to save for retirement.
    • Stay on track with automated savings options.

    Get out of debt
    Imagine what it will be like when you don’t owe anyone anything. Along with saving for your emergency fund, if you have any personal debt, credit card debt or student loans make sure you commit to paying it down while still having fun. Now that is freedom.

    Contributing to a Health Savings Account (HSA) can help you take advantage of tax benefits and increase the impact of your healthcare savings. Money you put in a HSA can be used to pay your medical expenses now and into retirement.

    Once you max out your HSA, consider saving more for retirement.

    • If you have extra money after fulfilling your other financial priorities, it's healthy to contribute more to your retirement.
    • Use myOrangeMoney® to see how saving a little extra today can help you do more of what you want tomorrow.
    • If you have student loans, explore repayment program options.
    • If you’re continuing your education, explore tuition reimbursement programs available through your employer.
    •  Save on out-of-pocket medical expenses by learning about options available to you.

    Storing your data in an easily accessible, secure space will help you and loved ones find important information when it’s needed.

    Suggested list of information to store in one place:

    • Your monthly budget with income, spending and saving plans.
    • Saving and investing accounts as well as any other assets you own.
    • Documents like life insurance policies, wills, trusts, powers of attorney, health proxies and tax information.
    • Contact information for financial professionals you work with – e.g. tax preparer, financial advisor, banker.
