So, how much to save for retirement?
Suppose you want to retire at 60 and the average life span in the US is 90. That means you will have to create savings to support you for 30 years. Of course you may obtain an inheritance, have a government of military pension and obtain social security, but you still need plenty of cash to enjoy your later years.
Most financial advisors suggest saving at least 15% of your gross income, which is the money you earn before taxes and other deductions. So, suppose you earn $75,000 a year and get paid twice a month (or 24 times a year). We suggest you save at least $11,250 annually or $468 per paycheck. The 15% can be a combination of all your retirement investments, such as a 401(k) plus money placed into a personal ROTH IRA.
