How close are your monthly contributions to Reliant's 5% match? 

Reliant will match dollar-for-dollar up to 5% of your monthly salary (including parsonage). Here is a quick example: John Smith has an annual salary of $45,000 as a campus minister. He makes $3,750 per month, so his 5% match each month would be $187.50. Calculate your 5% match and compare that 5% amount to what you're contributing to 401(k). If you're contributing under 5%, consider increasing your contribution to maximize your match.

How on track are you for retirement? 

On the Planning Resources tab, under Retirement Wellness Planner enter your current information to calculate your Retirement Wellness Score. If this score is in the Red or Yellow, take a little time to prayerfully and thoughtfully consider what steps you may be able to take over the next few months/years to increase that score. Principal's Retirement Wellness Planner is a great resource to assist you in this planning.
