Ever wonder how to save money fast, and how much you should have at your age? In this video, I explain some basics on investing for beginners, how much money I have, how to properly pay off debt, and how much to have in savings by retirement age. Financial independence doesn’t happen on it’s own, it takes decades of saving and investing.

For me, I need $500,000 saved and invested (in something like dividend paying stocks) at 4% to generate roughly $20,000 in passive income per year to be considered financially independent or retired. These are some money saving tips to stick to moving in to 2020. Pay off your debts, and let’s start saving money!

Saving money is an important part of financial planning, but knowing how much to save can be a daunting task. Many people wonder what is the right amount to save at different stages of their lives. While there is no one-size-fits-all answer, there are some general guidelines that can help individuals plan for their financial future.

In your 20s: It is recommended to save at least 10-15% of your income in your 20s. This is the time when you are likely to have the lowest expenses, so it’s a good opportunity to start building your savings.

In your 30s: By the time you reach your 30s, it’s ideal to have saved the equivalent of your annual salary. If this isn’t feasible, aim to save at least 15-25% of your income.

In your 40s: By your 40s, it’s important to have accumulated at least three times your annual salary in your savings. At this stage, you may have more financial responsibilities, such as a mortgage, children, and ageing parents, so saving between 20-30% of your income is advisable.

In your 50s: By the time you reach your 50s, aim to have five times your annual salary saved. With retirement on the horizon, it’s crucial to ramp up your savings and aim to save between 25-35% of your income.

In your 60s: As you approach retirement, it’s essential to have at least eight times your annual salary saved. Saving 30-40% of your income is recommended to ensure a comfortable retirement.

It’s important to remember that these are just general guidelines and everyone’s financial situation is different. Factors such as income, expenses, debt, and long-term financial goals should all be considered when determining how much to save.

In addition to saving for retirement, it’s also important to have an emergency fund equivalent to 3-6 months’ worth of living expenses. This fund can provide a financial cushion in case of unexpected expenses or job loss.

Ultimately, the key to saving is to develop good financial habits early on and to consistently save a portion of your income throughout your working years. By following these guidelines and seeking the advice of a financial advisor if needed, individuals can work towards building a strong financial foundation for the future.

  19. @Loopyllu365

    I read a book called the millionaire next door. Part of that book was based on the concept of how much you should have by what age but what they said was your age x your yearly income divide by 10 and that’s what you should have.

    Example.

    35 x £35,000 = £1,050,000
    —————————————— = 105k
    10
