I am 24, and I am not able to start the saving aspect of my retirement goals.
I just work at a fast food job and only make $10 an hour.
I am going through school, and to save money I am taking classes at a community college.
Due to various family obligations, and other things, I have had to take a very slow approach towards school.
I am fairly ok with this, as it allows me to not have any debt from school.
I just want to be out of this cycle, but I have to go within this slow time-frame.
But at this point, my goals towards the future, are now adjusting to me being able to start up these savings at around the age of 30.
I do not see social security being around when I am 65, so this gives me only 35 years to work with.
I know that I want to get married so this can help speed up the process with having enough to hopefully retire before I am 65.
Also, as morbid as it sounds, my grandparents and some day even my parents will die.
A portion of their estates will pass to me, well my grandparents will pass a portion of their estate to my parents, not to me, so I will get it indirectly through my parents really.
