Kick-Start your Personal Finance & Retirement Planning
Today is what most of us are thinking about. We may look forward to other things in our future but often retirement is not in our thoughts especially if we are young. It should actually be at the top of the list. It is never too early to start saving and investing in your retirement.
You have to plan for your future with our spouse, or if you have none then just for yourself. You need to be aware of your personal finances and be smart about saving and investing them. There are so many people who ignore how important retirement planning is or they wait until it is too late to put enough money back.
Needs change as inflation rises, and these factors need to be taken into consideration as your invest and save. Let's say that there is a 3% inflation rate, and the cost of living will double every 24 years or so. If you had estimated that you would need $100,000 a year to live on today, you will need more than $200,000 to live on in 25 years. Then add the increased health care costs and health insurance and you still are below what you need.
This is why it is so important to start planning for your retirement as early as possible. Below is a way to help you to calculate how much money you will need to save each year in order to have enough to live on when you retire.
That is just one way to start investing in your future retirement. Do something, do not just put it off because before you know it the time will pass and you will have realized you have done nothing to put back money for your retirement. In these times of uncertainly with the economy, it is not a good idea to put off something that will be so important in your future.
Decide when you want to retire, and then decide how much you will need to live on for about 20-30 years after that. This will help you to get an idea of what you will need to save. You will need a much clearer picture that will include inflation rates and health care costs as well as some other adjustments. Talking to a financial professional will help you in this.
With an approximation of the inflation rate, calculate the sum of money you will need when you retire to obtain the calculated yearly income. For this you may use a retirement calculator. If you are giving annual requirement as of date of retirement, enter the parameters for date of retirement as '0'. Otherwise, put in the necessity as of today. The calculator will include the inflation automatically. The calculator will tell you what the amount of money is that you will need to save every year so that you will have enough money to live on after retirement. You can find a retirement calculator on the Internet.
