How much should I save for my retirement?
While retirement might seem to be a lifetime away, you should start preparing for it as soon as possible. You may hear financial advisors recommend saving around 10–15% of your income for retirement.
You can put your retirement savings on autopilot by setting up automatic deposits from your paycheck directly into an employer-sponsored retirement plan or IRA account. That way, you won't have to constantly remind yourself to save.
Do I save first for my children's college or for my retirement?
It might seem overwhelming to figure out how to plan and prioritize your savings.
