How prepared do you feel for retirement? I am almost 30 and I feel way behind but then I hear others and I feel that I’m ahead?

You need to judge your pace on your own financial goals. Look at what you want to spend and accomplish in retirement. If that means you need 500k or 5mil in retirement assets to replace your income when you chose to retire then that’s your goal.

Then make sub goals each 5 years to try and hit accounting for market fluctuations and growth. Lastly like any new habits, you need to make gradual changes that your finances can tolerate.

Increase your retirement contributions by 1 or 2% each year after you get a raise or your commissions/revenue grow.

Thank you for that! I just feel behind on life in general and then I meet people older than me who have nothing so it’s all just confusing.

You can be 30 and have nothing and be ok. Just start Saving today!

About as prepared as I can be. I contribute as much as I can every year and live frugally. It's still looking like I'll have to work until at least mid 60s, but that's the way it goes.

You are to young you can do lots off thing according to your income

Additional Posts in Salaries in Finance

Currently a Wealth Advisor for Citi but I honestly hate it here with a passion it’s the worst company I’ve ever worked for in my life and I’ve been in Wealth Management in the banking channel for over a decade. Series 7, Series 63, Life, CFP, ChFC, and soon to have my MBA with a focus in Mergers & Acquisitions. I’m look to enter another area of Finance at this point instead of starting over somewhere else from scratch, but not sure what direction to go. Interested in Investment Banking or M&A.

User experience mgr salary? I support six product teams and eight reports. 20+ years experience

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?

Does anybody know what the typical salary range is and total comp for someone starting out as an internal or external wholesaler? If you are one of these, can you share about your experience in terms of whether you liked it or not, work life balance, travel, etc?
