Personal Finance and Money Management for Students: Getting a Jump Start on Retirement

If You have a Job You can Save for Retirement

As a college student you may feel like either you cannot afford to start saving for retirement or think that you have plenty of time. Most economic advisors will tell you that the best time to start saving for your retirement is as early as possible. Even if you start by saving only a few hundred dollars of year, you will have more money to fund your future retirement and may even be able to retire early. As long as you are employed you can contribute to an individual IRA or a Roth IRA, as long as you do not contribute more than what you make in the given tax year.
