It’s never too early — or too late — to plan for retirement. So, when is the right time to start? The answer: as early as possible.
Starting Early Has Its Advantages
Beginning in your 20s or 30s allows you to benefit from compounding returns and build flexibility into your financial life. Opening a Roth IRA early, for example, provides tax-advantaged growth and can complement employer-sponsored plans.
What If You’re Starting Later?
Many high earners begin serious retirement planning in their 40s or 50s – and that’s still valuable. With a tailored plan, focused savings, and strategic asset allocation, significant progress can be made even within a shorter time horizon.
Why Timing Affects Strategy
When it comes to retirement planning, the number of working years you have left are a big factor. It determines your risk tolerance, tax strategies, investment mix, and more. Planning earlier allows for better decision-making along the way.
