Whether you’re 18 or 38, it’s never early enough to start thinking about saving for retirement. In fact, the earlier you start, the more you will save (duh!). If you’re already in your mid-late 20s, or even early 30s, and haven’t started thinking about retirement yet- start today! You don’t need to have debts paid off and a perfect credit score (or even a full time, high income career) to start saving. Check out this post by Adeline at Frugal Fanatic for tips on jumpstarting your retirement funds today, and truly enjoying your golden years with no stress in the future:
-Have a plan- How much will you save a month, exactly? Will you be investing? What date will you talk to your employer about opening a retirement account?
-Employer contribution- make sure they are matching the maximum!
-Start saving with automated withdrawals.
-Put any extra money towards retirement!
