O'Leary's Retirement Savings Advice: Start Small if Needed, But Save Early for Compound Growth
-
Kevin O'Leary recommends saving 15% of your income for retirement, though 10-20% is a good target range according to financial experts.
-
If 15% feels out of reach, start small with 1% or 10% and increase over time as you get raises. Put at least enough to get any employer match.
-
Make sure you're not neglecting high interest debt payments just to save. Manage your budget to find areas to cut back and add to retirement.
-
Consider setting up automatic contribution increases with your employer plan over time to steadily build up to 15%.
-
Start saving as early as possible to take full advantage of compound growth over decades. The earlier you start, the more time your money has to grow.
