🤔Question: “I am 50 years old, make $80,000/yr, and have $0 in retirement savings. Is it too late to get started?”

HECK NO! Don’t believe the lie that it’s too late to save for retirement!! Many people are living until 90 or 100 years old these days and if you are in your 50s, then you have a long road ahead and you can make it one heck of a lot easier by having a plan. There are several factors that will go into your plan, but this sample step-by-step breakdown may help!

Step 1: Build a budget and maximize monthly savings

Step 2: Save a $1-5k to start for emergencies 

Step 3: Pay off consumer debt and continue to save for emergencies

👉If you invest 15% of your income annually, you’ll have $593k at age 70.
