Mine are blue.

 

[CollectiveUnconscious]

1/3 of my yearly income.

 

[DrPizza]

money? I'm supposed to save money? I've been buying stuff with it. Fortunately, that stuff will give me an income after I retire.

With social security (just received a statement of an estimated amount my wife and I will receive), plus my pension and my wife's retirement account, we'll do fine... on top of that, real estate (rent money) will provide a steady income, as well as other things we've undertaken.

Exactly $0. Course, I'm 18, so it's not really an issue.

That's what most people think, but it's entirely untrue. Most people will make an average income throughout their lives, so unless you plan on making an exceptional income you need to use the only advantage you'll ever have: Time.

Start saving now no matter what the amount.

If he's going to college, I think it's safe to wait until he's out of college and actually making reasonable money. If not going to college, start saving now.

I personally don't think it matters, and if one has the means one should start saving whenever possible; if anything it establishes discipline. I understand most people in college have little opportunity to save of course, so in that respect I agree with you.

So many people get a late start in their careers, and it's only in their 30s that they're reasonably successful. In most cases, for most people, that's simply far too late to start saving.

I fully intend to start saving when I have a real career. But as it stands, what I make basically goes to paying for those things I need to pay for, and the usual college entertainment things. I do have 100 shares of Intel, but I do not plan on holding on to that forever, it's in the nature of a relatively short term investment.

If that's true then you likely have some pretty serious money management problems. It takes me only a second to find out my net worth and I have no less than a dozen or so different accounts.
