When do you start retirement planning?

When do you start retirement planning? For me, I started about a few years after I started working. I bought insurance because these insurance policies force me to save, and they could turn into annuity when I reach 62 years old. I think the challenge is in not knowing how long we will live.

Husband and I started to plan for retirement after our a year of our marriage. The more you plan it early, the more it easier for you to retire. :)

That is great! i am sure you have discussed with your husband about what to do, and where to stay after retirement. I think if you plan well, you can afford to travel frequently in your retirement. Maybe you can consider going for a world cruise with your husband.

@scheng1 I am afraid of that idea. But we already have a 5-day cruise at Royal Carribean just this year.

I actually haven't even if I'm told by many around me that I should start thinking about it even if my kids are still young.

If you take a look at the situation of the old people around you, you can see if that is the kind of life you want. Many old people still have to work, because they do not have the money. Some of them have children who are earning big money, but those children do not want to support their parents.
