This is one of the reasons why we work so hard other than to provide money for living. All the things we dream of doing, like traveling, buying a house, etc., usually require a lot of money, so you have to start saving right away. If you want to become a millionaire when you retire, you have to think about how much time you need to do that and what should be your initial capital. It does not matter if you are 20 or 40 years old, it is important that you have to start somewhere.
And even if it could sound surprisingly for you – you can do it if you start with $ 10,000. This is possible because you are going to use your 7% solution, which means that you assume 7% inflation, like this is the risk that you are willing to take if you were trading with stocks, and start living with the means that you will have left after that. Of course, there will be obstacles and bumps along your road of saving, but you should not give up. It is not really so important where you are going to invest your money, because there is more then one variant, but to stay disciplined in doing that. You have to be constant in your actions if you want to succeed. And you have to be realistic about how much you can achieve and be honest before yourself.

1. Start at 25
Saving money requires a lot of time and discipline. But if you start at the age of 25, when you reach 65 you can retire as a millionaire. For these 40 years you have so much time and so many bills to pay, like collage, vocations, stuff for you and you family and a lot of people put off their savings for the future.
So what is the main idea?
It is calculated that if you start saving at 25 with initial amount of $10,000 and
invest $320 a month with 7% annual compound rate of return,
then at the age of 65 you will have one million.
Of course this is not an easy job to be done, so if you want to have the money for this investment, you really need to work on your career. You can count on your company` s RRSP/401 (k) plan, and if you do not have one, then open a TFSA, RRSP, or Roth IRA as long as you qualify for that.

2. What is the situation if you start saving at 35
Every ten years your money doubles. So instead of $320, now you are expecting savings for $775 every month. It is good if you have your RRSP/401 (k) plan, so you do not have to dip into your pockets for the whole amount. At that time you will probably have a young family and little children. In such a way you can show them that it is possible to make money and to save at the same time. When you teach your children, you are also teaching yourself.
3. Halfway done at 45
At that age you will probably have a house and you will have a good job with good salary, which is important, because you need to put into your account $1850 every month if you want to reach one million within 20 years. So many people do not have the proper amount in their retirement saving, so this is the chance to get out of the situation.
4. At 55 you are almost there
You have waited so far so the amount that you need is $5700 every month with a base of $10,000. So you have lived quite well, you have possessions, but no savings. There is your moment of truth and how you need to change – start working longer, cut down expenses and save whatever you can.
So think carefully how you are going to proceed from now on.
