What must I do then to secure my financial future?  Reply with quote  

I am already 40 and some friends advised me to start saving for my retirement as early as now. That I should start calculating how much I will need during my retirement and a company pension plan or Social Security cannot be my sole source of retirement income. What must I do then to secure my financial future?

Based on recent inflation trends, at age 65 (in 2042) your SS should be around $2600/m ($32,000). You'll need about $95,000/yr (a median 2042 couple). If you invest your money at 6%/yr, you'll need about $1.1M in 2042 to get your $95,000.

But $1.1M sounds pretty light to me, you would need a paid-for house. And you would need to stick close to subsistence living - no expensive travel, no fancy cars.

I am not a big believer in saving. I prefer investing. If you have some money saved up right now, you can purchase a condominium - put up a big deposit and pay off the balance in as fewer years as you can. This way, you have additional funds you can count on during your retirement years. You can also invest in stocks, etc.

If you are the saving type of person, put your money in CDs. At least, those have higher interest compared to a regular savings account.
