Save money for retirement at an early age. The earlier you start saving the better it is for you as we are all getting older everyday.
There are many ways to save money for retirement so be sure you find a plan that will benefit you and your loved ones. Do some researching before deciding on the plan you want to invest in; be sure that you are earning interest on your investments at the highest rates possible.
Deciding on the amount you want to invest each month by calculating the number of years until you plan to retire can be done from using the retirement calculator on the Internet. You can also get the percentage rates from your investor; as well, they will be glad to help you in making your decisions.
Saving for you and your loved ones after retirement by investing is one of the most effective ways to help you when you decide that your working days are over.
You can invest into different corporations like Edward and Jones or Mutual Funds along with many others.
Using the 401K retirement plan is the easiest and most effective retirement‘s plans available. Your work employer contributes up to a certain percentage to match what you have taken from your check. As your money accumulates it, will increase as the stocks go up? You will draw interest on your investments as well.
When you invest into a 401K program the money you have taken from your check will be deferred from having to pay taxes on it. Your money will stay tax-free until you remove the program. If you draw the money out early, you have to pay a penalty so once you invest into your 401K try to leave it there. You can borrow on it after you have a certain amount in but plan on paying a high interest rate. There is an advantage to this because the interest goes back into your investments giving you the interest as well.
You can invest your own money by putting it into CD’s. The CD rates vary according to the number of years or months that you chose to leave it there. The longer you invest your money in CD’s the more interest you will receive and than the interest can be rolled back into the money to receive interest on the interest money you’ve already earned.
Set up an IRA plan with your bank investing your money to it for retirement as well. You can have a portion or all of your income tax rolled over to your IRA plan each year. Your interest that you earn can be rolled over here as well to earn more interest.
Retirement plans can earn you money to make more money. You can get advice from your local investors to find the best plan for you at the highest rates of interest.
Plan your savings for retirement early to get the best rates and investments advantages as possible. You and your family will benefit later in life.

Is 18 too young to save for retirement?
I don’t know if this is adsurd but I really want to save retirement right now.
Is 65 years old, too old to work?

The sooner you start the better. A person who saves simply from 21-28 and stops, will end up better off than someone who starts at 28 and saves all the way until retirement age!!! It’s called the Power of Compounding Interest.

one is never too young to save! start while you’re young and you can be guaranteed of a secured and independent old age.
a 10 for you young man. go go go!!!

That is great! The more you save the more your nest egg will grow!!! Contact a financial planner and go in for a talk, find out all the options.

It is a good idea and when you are that young you can put say 50 a month away and it will add up to lots when you are 65. Go for it.

If you start now and invest it in a money market account, you will retire a millionare. I sure wish I would have had your wisdom when I was 18.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That’s a great age to start. You can start saving/investing small amounts, & as your income increases, increase the amount of your savings. That way, when you are much more mature (like me!), you won’t have to worry about how you will make it through your retirement. You’ll already have a lot invested & saved!

Yes, me. I’m 55 & wish I had started investing/saving a LONG time ago. I know now I will never be able to completely quit working.
How much are you making? If you are just working a minimum wage job it is NOT WORTH IT. For one thing you probably hardly pay any tax right now. Save to contribute to your retirement later on… it’s tax free so use it later when you are making more money to offset your higher taxable income.
Plus once you get a better job your employer will likely contribute or even match your savings each year if you are lucky.
Save money right now, but don’t do it for retirement. Save up a nice down payment for a house.

no i don’t beleive 18 is too young, in fact I started then also.
I used a simple formulae that has always worked for me. It works on percentage of your income:
Living costs (ie rent, board, phone, electricity etc) – 60%
Spending Money – 10% (ie. night out, dinner out, movies, etc)
Savings – 10%
Debt Repayment (ie loans, hire purchases etc) – 10%
Addtional Expenses (ie, clothing, medical bills, etc.) – 10%
This has worked as 10% of my income goes to savings, 10% for spending money. If I wanted to get an item on hire purchase but the payments were more than 10% then I didn’t get the hire purchase and saved for the item instead.
This has helped me out of a bad financial situation and helped others when I showed them also.
Hope this helps also.

No, you are quite wise in considering your retirement needs now. Compound interest even at todays low rates will really add up over the years. Even if you believe the doomsday people that say the world wide economic system will collapse by the time you reach retirement age, you’ll still have money saved up to buy canned food and shotguns.

If you have everything you need and your family taking care of you and you have all the money you need for school then i would start saving . If you put it into a retirement account and you need it for school or a living expense as you didn’t give any other information. You would have to pay a penalty if you took it early and then what good was it to put it away. If you have everything go for it. I f not i would be a little cautious on it as you might need it. If it was easy everyone would be rich when they get old.
It just doesn’t work out unless you want to live like a miser or get a really high rate of return because of inflation. Inflation will make everything cost more and you’ll have less money.

Age is not a basis of savings. The point of saving is this: the more money you save in more time will yield more. If you save while your 18, your portfolio after 20 to 30 years will dramatically increase. The principle of interest is rate x base x time. The more time the higher your base will increase.

No, the younger the better. I’m 24 and just now starting to save for retirement. If you invest and save in your 20′s you have a much greater chance of being rich and retiring one day. For some good advice I would suggest you read a book by Dave Ramsey called "The complete money makeover" and it will teach you to live frugally and how to invest and set up your financial future. Best of luck and happy holidays
