How To Build Wealth And Supercharge Your Savings?

Let's say you are 30.

You plan to retire at 60.

Your life expectancy is 80.

Your future monthly expenses are $1500 per month.

Now let's calculate your retirement savings.

=> Future Monthly Expenses * Months in a Year * Number of Years

=> $1500*12*20 = $360,000.

According to our calculations, if you save $300 per month for 30 years at a 7% compound annual return, you will have $368,126.25 waiting for you in uour retirement account.

They are the expenses that may occur unexpectedly. Aim to save at least three to six month's worth of living expenses in an easily accessible account.

Emergency Fund Required = Monthly Expenses * Number of Months

=> $2,100 * 3 = $6,300

If we save 20% or $180/month of our savings amount for our emergency fund, in 2 years & 11 months we will have $6300 in our account.

Savings accounts often offer a modest interest rate 2.5-5% more or less , allowing your money to grow over time through compound interest. They are helpful to reach your goals or for any big investment you may have in the future.

Aim to allocate 20-25% into your savings account.

Assuming your bank gives 3% interest, if you save 25% or $225, after a year you will have $2,743.88 in your savings account.

Bonds are low-risk investments that provide a fixed income over time. Including bonds in your investment portfolio can provide stability and consistent returns, especially for long-term financial goals.

Saving the rest of your money, $195 at 5% interest rate.

Starting from July 2023, after 10 years you will have $29,493.75 .

Saving & investing your money may not make you a millionaire, but it will become your shield during any financial distress. As we said earlier, patience is the key to building wealth.

Determine how much you can save each month based on your income and expenses. Aim to save a percentage of your income regularly, even if it's a small amount initially.
