Saving for retirement
Saving for retirement
- A point we all want to reach, don't we?
- A point in our life which is just as interesting as any other.
- A time when we can carry on being ourselves.
First of all:
- How much will I get for my state pension?
- Will it be enough?
Now, six tips to put into practice today
-
The sooner you start, the better
What would be ideal? The best thing would be to start saving when our working life begins. The sooner we start the better, as we will build up more interest over the years. It might not seem like a lot at first, but in time, it will be much more. And, best of all, later in life you won't have to make such an effort.
-
It's never too late
Never think this. There is a gulf between the ideal and reality. You can begin sooner or later, and you will have to make more or less of an effort, but some kind of effort is always better than not doing anything at all.
-
Find a meaning for your savings
We all find it hard to put aside part of our income for something that seems a long way off, but think of all the things you would like to do or continue to do when you are older - you can't turn the clock back, but on the plus side you will have more time and more freedom at this point in your life. Think of something, create a goal and turn your savings, your dreams, into something real.
-
Calculate how much you can afford to save
If you don't yet earn much in the way of income, don't worry and remember that: the earlier you begin, the more interest you will earn. Think of an amount which is not too big or not too little, one you can actually afford.
-
Without stress, little by little
For a long-term savings project, being consistent is more important than the amount you actually contribute. What is really important is to develop the habit, for you to accept this expense as something that is inevitable and that you need.
-
If you receive extra income, make an extra contribution
Unfortunately it does not happen as often as we would like. But it is a good target to put aside some of the extra income we get, from our pay, or in a month where we have a little money left over, for example.
And one last piece of advice, which you'll love: take advantage of the tax benefits.
- The tax saving is not just a saving, it directly reduces the tax base of your income tax return with the limits indicated below.
