Here's exactly how much you should have invested by age to retire with two and a half million dollars. These are just good benchmarks to hit. If you're behind, it's okay. Just know that today is the best day to start investing. By 18, you should have $7,000 invested. This is basically just proof that you started before most people do. By 22, you should have $25,000. If you're around here, you already have a habit that most people start developing in their late 20s. By 25, $40,000. Income is still pretty low here, but it's mostly the discipline that's doing the work, not the salary. Save this post so you can actually track where you land. By 30, $150,000. If you're here, you're not only on pace, you're ahead of 90% of people your age. By 40, $450,000. And finally, at 65 for retirement, $2,500,000. Same habits, same discipline, just decades of heavy lifting compounding. Follow me for more.
