At 40, you have 20-25 years until retirement—plenty of time for your money to grow. Compound interest still works wonders: $5,000 saved yearly at 7% becomes $316,222 by 65. The key is starting now to maximize every year. That's only with a 7% return, stocks like the S&P 500 return on average 10.7% a year for the last 30 years. If you would have put in $416 a month or $5000 a year at the end of the 25 years you would have over $532,000. This proves that it's never to late to save. Use our monthly budget calcualtor to find ways you can start saving today.
