If your goal is to save $500,000 for retirement at age 67, look at the difference time makes:
Monthly Savings Required
Begin at Save Cost to Wait
Age 25 $89
Age 35 $224 More than 2 times more
Age 45 $602 Nearly 7 times more
Age 55 $1,926 More than 21 times more
The sooner you begin to save/invest, the greater the growth on your investment
The high cost of waiting
$100/month at 9%
Begin saving at: Total at age 67: Cost to wait
Age 25 $566,920
Age 26 $517,150 $49,770 (for waiting 1 year
Age 30 $357,240 $209,680 (for waiting 5 years)
Age 40 $137,780 $429,140 (for waiting 15 years)
These examples assume a hypothetical 9% constant rate of return. Rate of return is a nominal interest rate compounded on a monthly basis. Actual investments will fluctuate in value. The illustration does not include fees and taxes which would lower results. Investing entails risk, including loss of principal. Shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original value
