When I was 23 I met one of the vice presidents of the largest bank in Canada. I worked as a reporter and we met for an interview. After introductions he asked me how old I was. Then he suggested that I should be saving up for my retirement. At the time I was perplexed but after a few years I realized how wise of a suggestion that was.
Planning for your retirement is something that should start very early in life. Saving a bit here and bit there will make a difference after a few years. You can start saving for your retirement from a young age and when you have saved enough you should consider investing that money.
There are many options for someone who is considering investing for their retirement these days. Simply placing your funds in a bank account is not enough and figuring out whether an investment is good or not can take a lot of work.
For best results start saving and investing as early as possible. The more you save and invest the better chances you have of living a comfortable life in the future. The best way to do so is to consult a financial planner or an investment adviser to help you with making the right choices in planning for your retirement.
Even though saving an investing small amounts works well in the long run you should consider taking a more aggressive approach. Some advisers recommend that you use 60 per cent of your income to cover your expenses and allocate 40 percent towards your savings and investments. It doesn't necessarily have to be your income it can be any money coming in regardless if it is a bonus, a gift or a prize.
Generally, the fastest you make a return on your investment the greater the risk. The same goes for return. High return investments presuppose that you are willing to take some kind of risk. Even though a balanced portfolio is something widely recommended when it comes to your retirement funds you must take an approach that is as close as to risk free as possible.
