While I am angry that I didn't start saving for retirement earlier, because of course...Armageddon was imminent...at least I have started now. I work for a great investment company, and they have a 401K and profit sharing plan. After a few more years with them, I am also eligible to share in the limited partnership of this company. So, while I didn't really start until 35 years of age...I should be ok.
The best thing about working for this company was opening my eyes about investments, which I knew nothing about previously. I now have my boys started with their own mutual fund accounts...and if they will follow my advice, and contribute as much of their income as possible, they can reasonably expect to retire at the age of 45 or earlier, quite well off. We'll see how it goes.
