Retirement can seem far away, especially when you first enter the workforce. So, it’s natural to focus on the present than take action for the future. But prioritizing saving, the earlier, the better, can set you on a path to living your best life in retirement. If you participate in Kendal~Crosslands Communities’ retirement plan, you can accumulate additional retirement savings with certain tax advantages. We offer all staff the opportunity to enroll in a 403(b) plan that is the most generous in our area. With an automatic match of 1% and an additional 5% base grant for eligible staff members, saving for your future can translate into much more during retirement.
