Let me ask you a simple question. Do you believe in the future? Or let me ask you that do you make future planning? Well if your answer is “yes” to any of the above questions, then this post is just for you. And if you do believe in future or make future planning, then it is quite sure that you would have given a thought to your post retirement life also.
Yes, Retirement is an essential part of your life and some day or the other you would also retire. And one of the most fundamental things to retirement is that you have to save for your retirement. Saving for your Retirement is thus a vital key to happy and joyful retirement life.
So if you want to retire rich you should begin saving for your retirement as early as possible. Another essential part to retirement planning is that you should be clear of your retirement needs. Actually you would require at least 70% of your preretirement earnings if you want to maintain the same standard of living as you are living at present. But this is a big figure indeed. So you need to save regularly and moreover invest your money in order to attain to your desired retirement fund.
One of the best approaches would be to open an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) in which you can save up to $5000 a year and get tax advantages too. You can also go for a retirement saving plan such as 401(k) which is one of a kind of employer’s retirement saving plan. You get compound interest over the years and tax benefits as well. In 401(k) you and your employer both contribute. So you should try to make most of it.
Then you must develop the habit of saving. It does not matter that you make small savings but more importantly you should be able to save regularly. Then if you have enough savings, you can invest that money to earn a high rate of interest. You can buy gold and can even take mutual funds as well.
So essentially saving for Your Retirement should be your utmost priority and you should try to begin savings for it as soon as possible. Because ultimately you want to live a happy retired life.
