The Game Plan

At what age should people start saving for retirement?

  1. When you begin working
  2. When you buy your first home
  3. When you pay off all your debt

Definitely not when you pay off all your debt, it’s likely you’ll have debt on and off throughout your life. The best time is when you start working, especially if your job offers a 401(k) match.

Which of these is the best estimate of how much income you’ll need in retirement?

  1. 50% of your current income
  2. 85% of your current income
  3. 100% of your current income
