How To Plan For Retirement At 30? 
That is a great question , and I 'm really glad that you did n't wait any longer to ask it ! The first step would be to meet with an advisor to look at where you stand financially right now . Once you 've looked at where you are , you want to decide where you want to be . What are your goals for retirement ? Travel ? Retirement home somewhere ? These kind of goals help determine how to set up a solid plan for you . Depending upon where you are financially , you may need to change some of the things that you are doing now . Current wisdom says to live in retirement at the standard you are now , it will require that you have saved 8-10 times your current salary . I would strongly advise that you find someone that you trust to start the process for you , and the sooner the better . If you would like to discuss this further , please feel free to contact me , I 'd be happy to make some time for you . Thanks for asking !
