Given that our personal circumstances differ, I'll encourage viewers to treat these guidelines as a rough marker rather than a strict retirement plan calculator The key starting point is in your 20s, where establishing good financial habits—like budgeting, setting up an emergency fund, and saving a small portion of income—is more important than hitting a specific number. By age 30, a reasonable goal is to have a portfolio equal to your annual salary, with further growth projected in the following years through regular savings and modest income increments. As the decades progress, the video emphasizes how portfolio growth, savings rates, and consistent income raises contribute to wealth accumulation. For instance, by age 40, individuals should aim for a portfolio 4.3 times their annual income, with continued growth expected throughout the 40s and 50s. By age 60, the target portfolio should ideally be eight times your pre-retirement gross income, ensuring financial independence into retirement. Article by T.
