How Much Income You Need To Save (By EVERY Age)

AGE 20: Average Net Worth: -$31,571
1. GET A CREDIT CARD
The point is to begin building up your credit score as soon as possible, since 50% of your score is made up from your on-time payment history and how LONG you’ve had credit for.
2. OPEN A ROTH IRA
This will allow you to invest $7000 per year and grow your money COMPLETELY TAX-FREE by the age of 59 - meaning, by the time you’re older, everything is pure profit.
3. SAVE 20% OF YOUR INCOME
4. INVEST IN THE MARKETS

AGE 30: Average Net Worth: $42,339

3. HAVE A 3-6 MONTH SAFETY FUND
4. AIM FOR 1X YOUR SALARY SAVED
