Can Saving $300 a Month Buy You a Financially Secure Retirement? Here's the Math.
Yahoo Finance ·
When it comes to building retirement savings, it's easy to assume you need to invest a huge sum of money every month to build a sizable nest egg. But let's be real -- in today's economy, that's not an easy thing. Housing prices are through the roof. Food and gas are expensive. And travel? Forget about it. Even one modest trip per year could eat up a huge chunk of your budget. If you're struggling to find large chunks of money each month to fund your IRA or 401(k), you're not alone. But if you're able to save a moderate amount, like $300 a month, you may be surprised at how far it can go -- provided you start early enough. If you're in your late 40s and trying to catch up on retirement savings, contributing $300 a month to your IRA or 401(k) p robably won't cut it. But if you're new to the workforce and have more than 40 years to build retirement wealth, you may be surprised at what $300 a month can do for you.
