Retiring as a millionaire? Amanda Wright 'Muse by Mandy'

Have you ever looked back at a younger you, and wondered how much better off you’d be today if you banked half as much as you drank, or frivolously frittered away on designer shoes you no longer ever wear? In today’s consumer-driven society, there is a lot of pressure on people to have the best of everything. The latest smartphone, the nicest house, an overseas holiday every year, designer accessories and Instagram photos from Michelin Star restaurants.

lifetime away for those in their 20’s and even 30’s, the earlier you start saving, the richer you will become. It really is that simple. You don’t need a trust fund, and you don’t need to have been squirrelling away money since you were a toddler to retire as a millionaire. If you’re in your 20’s, it’s very achievable and in your 30’s, it’s still doable while allowing you to still enjoy a social life. It all comes down to the magic of compound interest. The earlier you start saving, the more your money start to earn extra money for you. It just takes patience. Due to market fluctuations and changing percentage rates, it’s near

impossible to accurately determine an exact figure, however looking at an average return rate of 6 percent interest, you can assume the following amounts will have you well on track to retire as a millionaire. If you start saving when you are 20 years old, then all you will need to put away is $350 per month, less than $100 per week. Think of the amount of money you spend per week on takeaway food, alcohol, coffee, eating out, unnecessary clothes and shoes, and you begin to realise how achievable around $90 per week really is. If you are 25, the figure you should aim for is $500 per month, but by now you will have a few years of experience in the workforce or a tertiary education to help you to achieve a higher salary. As a 30 year old, you should be looking to invest $690 per month, and as a 35 year old that figure jumps to $970 per month. While that figure seems high, it is still less than $250 per week. If you make some adjustments to your lifestyle and cut a few expenses, this figure is still achievable.

The stark truth is, if you let consumerism, ego and ‘what everyone else thinks’ control your life, you will retire with close to nothing. While retirement may seem a

It is possible! Don’t forget that the rate of inflation can devalue your savings, so $1 million now, may only be worth around $550,000 to $650,000 by the time you retire. As you receive pay rises, it’s important to up the value of your contributions to match the rate of inflation, so your amount

is true to the value of $1 million as we know it now. However, superannuation and Kiwisaver payments are not included in this, so if part of your salary is already contributing to your retirement, then you are well on your way, and retiring with $1 million is

even more achievable. Initially you can put your savings in a bank account, but over time it won’t return as much interest as other options. Once your initial savings surpass $5 thousand, talk to a financial planner about your options to secure the best interest

rate. As your nest egg continues to grow, you can expect to receive a higher rate of interest. The work you put into researching high-interest investment options will be rewarding over time. Moral of the story, the sooner you start, the better off you’ll be.
