Jim Hitt Explains a Factor that Every Self-Directed IRA Owner Needs to Know
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (PRWEB) October 30, 2017 -- The world of the Self-Directed IRA can sometimes be difficult for investors to follow, fraught with all sorts of limitations, penalties, and complications. But American IRA CEO Jim Hitt—who is used to making these account types sound accessible—recently took to the American IRA blog to explain one factor that Jim Hitt believes is essential to the success of every Self-Directed IRA investor.
According to the post, that factor is savings rate. With a recent post at CNBC pointing out that the majority of Americans have less than $1,000 in their savings accounts, Jim Hitt thought it appropriate to get “back to basics” when it comes to the Self-Directed IRA and focus on this one factor that seems to influence success more than any other.
“When you look at the numbers, you notice just how terrible shape many American investors seem to be in,” says Jim Hitt. “The fact that so many Americans have trouble coming up with even $400 for an emergency or trouble building even $1,000 in an emergency savings fund says a lot about where we put our priorities. And, simply put, too many people are living paycheck-to-paycheck. And while there are a number of factors that push Americans this way, the simple truth for more investors is that they need to make retirement a priority.”
Jim Hitt pointed out that while the Self-Directed IRA is a great vehicle for investing and maximizing the investment dollar put away for retirement, those protections only matter if money is put into the account in the first place. That’s why Jim Hitt believes that savings rate is one of the chief factors that determines the success of retirement investors utilizing a Self-Directed IRA.
“Some people have to use budgets in order to enforce financial discipline on themselves,” says Jim Hitt. “For others, it comes more naturally. But no matter what investors might be like, the most important factor in their success will always be in how they make retirement a priority—or if they don’t.”
