Don’t Ignore This! Your Free Retirement Money Awaits — Seize It Now!
If your employer has a pension plan and offers to match your contributions, not participating means turning down extra money.
Are you missing out on free retirement savings? With so many expenses to consider, joining your company’s pension plan might not seem attractive. However, opting out could be a financial mistake, especially if your employer matches your contributions.
Not taking advantage of employer-matched contributions is a missed opportunity. If your plan has a matching program, and you’re not benefiting from the free matching funds provided by your employer, you’re passing up a significant opportunity.

Start saving in your pension plan immediately:
As a new employee, join your company’s pension plan now to maximize your savings for retirement. The sooner you begin, the more you’ll accumulate, including benefits from employer contributions.
Take advantage of employer matching:
Some employers match your contributions, meaning they’ll add a percentage to your pension account. This accelerates the growth of your savings with no hidden conditions.
Tax benefits:
Your contributions and the growth of your pension fund are tax-deferred until you withdraw the money. Also, contributing through payroll deduction leads to immediate tax savings, reducing your taxable income similar to an RRSP (Registered Retirement Savings Plan).
Convenience:
Automatic payroll deductions make regular contributions effortless. It’s simpler to manage and research an investment fund compared to selecting individual stocks and bonds.

There’s No Expiry on Beginning Contributions:
While starting early and contributing more can bolster your savings, it’s never too late to join an employee pension plan. No matter when you start, you can still reap the benefits.
