How much you should be saving for retirement is an age-old question that just about everybody wants to know.

How much money to have saved at every age

According to retirement-plan provider Fidelity Investments, the rule of thumb is to save 10 times your income if you want to retire by age 67. Adjust this amount if you want to retire any earlier or later. Those retiring at 62 (the earliest you can claim Social Security) will need to save more to compensate for an additional five years without income. Those retiring at 70 probably won't need the full amount of 10 times their income, as they will have worked an additional three years and presumably have fewer years left to spend their savings. While Fidelity's guideline is a big goal, it's more manageable when you start early and have many years to reach it. Fidelity suggests the following age-based savings milestones that would provide enough income for you to continue your current lifestyle in retirement (rather than planning to downsize or spend more). Here's how much cash they say you should have stashed away at every age: Savings by age 30 : the equivalent of your annual salary saved; if you earn $55,000 per year, by your 30th birthday you should have $55,000 saved the equivalent of your annual salary saved; if you earn $55,000 per year, by your 30th birthday you should have $55,000 saved Savings by age 40 : three times your income
