I don't know if companies offer their employees the 401K Plan in your country but if they do that is the absolute best way to save for yoyr future retirement. As you are still very young you would have a fortune saved in this plan if you started now.

I do have money saved up for retirement but not enough. That is another reason for me being here on myLot to make some extra money to save up for later as well as making new friends and having nice conversations with other members here. All the money I make here goes into a high interest savings account. I need to make some changes to my retirement plan at work so that I can make more money.

Well friend, at present i have lots of responsibilities on my shoulders. I have two sisters and i should save money for their marriage. Once their marriage is completed the resposibilities will reduce and then i will think of saving money. As of now i havent saved even a single pie!

I am saving money for the future, but it may not be enough yet. Of course I also consider SSS premiums, and our school's retirement plan to be part of my savings, aside from some little investments of my husband. Real properties are also considered as good investments for the future, but we have not much. . .I am not yet retiring so I am still in the process of saving for our retirement, along with my husband.

Whether your saved money is enough or not to a large extent depends on your aim of life.If you dream of luxury life,it may never be enough.Cause luxury items cost you so large a mount.Don't you think so?
