Have you ever walked into a Wal-Mart or other big box store and been greeted by an older person who probably should have retired a decade ago? We all have at some time or another, and most of us think that when we're that age, we want to be taking vacations and spoiling our grand kids, not handing people shopping carts! Heck, none of us really -want to have to work during retirement. It's okay if you choose to work during retirement so that you have a reason to get up in the morning, but it should be your choice to do so.

Want to get rich? Use the power of compound interest working in your favor. A little bit of money invested well over a long period of time can equate to a lot of money! It's really a simple concept, but so many people fail to make use of the amazing power of compound interest. You can be very wealthy at retirement if you just put a relatively small amount of money away for retirement in a solid investment for a long period of time.

If you're under the age of 30, you can retire with a million dollars by age 65 by putting away a lot less money than you think! You'll need to put it in a solid investment account maybe a 401K- You just have to do the research and find a account at your work.. If you're really young, say age 20, you would only need to deposit very little into a good 401k to be a millionaire upon retirement.



You'll have to go find a savings calculator to figure out how much a month you need to put away to be a millionaire at retirement, but chances are it's a lot less money than you might think. Go to ANY OTHER FINANCIAL CALCULATOR. Please note two important things! 1) You must start as young as possible and 2) the return on your investment (percentage gain each year) makes an incredible difference in how you do. Someone who just puts money in CD's may average a 2% return and it would take much more money. If you get a professional broker or educate yourself, you should be able to get the traditional 7-8% return on your investments that someone using professional can usually get . This is why I always tell people to get the best advice they can through a professional broker as young as they can!

Your discussion is to tell me how much you should start investing now each month to have a cool million by retirement.


Make use of the power of compound interest in your financial life rather than letting the bank use compound interest against you through credit cards, mortgages and automobile loans. Compound interest is an amazing tool if you put away a percentage of your income away for retirement. When retirement occurs, you could do just about anything that you ever wanted--- just let it work for you and not somebody else.
