Financial Wellness Series — Your Contributions Today Equal Serious Money Later

The Nevada System of Higher Education partnered with TIAA to develop a four-part newsletter series focused on building smart money habits, understanding credit and debt, and beginner investing. Please see below for the third edition which includes links to on-demand webinars. 

Your Contributions Today Equal Serious Money Later 

You might not be thinking about retirement yet — and that's completely normal. When you’re building your career, paying rent, or planning your next trip, “65” feels far away. But here’s the part most people underestimate: time.  

Thanks to compound growth, contributions today can snowball into serious money over time. It’s about starting early and letting compounding interest do the heavy lifting. By contributing to your retirement plan now, the more time your money has to grow — quietly, steadily, in the background of your life.

Get started today:

  1. Tune in. Short on time? Watch TIAA’s two-minute YouTube video You're Not Too Young to Plan for Retirement.  Want to dive deeper? Read our four-minute article on Understanding Dollar Cost Averaging and Compound Growth.
  2. Get support from TIAA at no additional cost— try the Retirement Journey Planner or schedule time to talk through your plan with a consultant.  
  3. Download the TIAA mobile app on your Apple or Android device to stay on top of your finances.

Look forward to part four next week!
