2. Start Saving Early
One of the best ways to retire rich is to start saving money as soon as you earn it. Thanks to the power of compound interest, even small monthly contributions to a retirement account can grow over time to a sizable nest egg. The more time you have, the more your money will grow.
For example, if someone starts saving $350 a month at age 25, increases that amount by 2.5 percent each year and earns 7 percent annually, he will have about $1.4 million by age 67. If he waits until age 35 to start saving, however, he will only have about $654,000 by age 67.
