Retirement can feel so far away that it becomes easy to say, “I’ll focus on that later.”
But waiting until retirement is right around the corner can leave you with less time to contribute, learn and allow your investments to grow.
I started investing for retirement in my early 20s. Now, as I approach 35, I’m increasing my focus because I want to know that I’m actively building toward the future I envision.
In this episode, I’m sharing:
• Why retirement planning needs to begin before it feels urgent
• What I did in my early 20s to get started
• Why I’m increasing my retirement contributions now
• How I use my Roth IRA as part of my retirement strategy
• Why an employer retirement plan should not be your entire plan
• Why you need to understand what your retirement accounts actually own
• How consistency can matter more than waiting for the “perfect” amount
• Why market fluctuations shouldn’t be the only thing guiding your decisions
Starting early doesn’t mean you have to do everything perfectly.
It means giving yourself more time to learn, adjust and build.
Your future self should not receive whatever money happens to be left over. She deserves to be included in the financial decisions you’re making today.
