Step 1
I will have to decide what career I want to go into and see how long I want to be in work. Some people retire at 40, others retire at 60. I want to retire at age 60. -
Step 2
I need to continue doing good in the career that I chose, I also need to be able to keep the job. -
Step 3
Now that I know what age I will retire at, I next need to plan a budget to save the money that I need. I need to save $35 a week to get to where I want to be. -
Step 4
Now that I know how much I need to spend, I need to know what I am laying back on. I won't get unnecessary things like jewelry or new shoes when I already have some. -
Step 5
I need to keep up with my savings and know how much I need over the years (every 5 years I should gain around 10,000) -
