How To Build An Effective Retirement Cushion

Money is almost everything we need to live and survive in this world. In our working life we get the money form working and we spend it merrily without worrying about the future when the money will not be flowing in every month rather it will be in a limited or no supply. Retirement is that future where you continue to live but in effect have no money coming in every month as a paycheck into your salary account.

That said very few percentage of people generally keep tab on the nest egg they are building for the future. In fact most people never really care about building a nest egg for the future till the time has come onto them in near reality.

When the retirement is looming large it is too late to actually start the process of building that sustainable cushion of money to survive through your old age. The reason is simple enough that the money will only grow if it is multiplied over and over again.

This multiplication of money is called the compounding effect of money. This compounding effect makes a profound effect on the amount of money you can generate by the already earned money. Each year the interest you earn on the money will gain yield interest for you and that means earning money without working on that money. Of course the money corpus will only grow if the money you have in the bank is kept for a longer period of time and that is a couple of years as opposed to a coupe of months.

It is precisely the same reason that people say that you should start thinking about your retirement the moment you start working. That is probably the bets time to save money as you have no liabilities and also if the compounding effect was applied on that money you would have built a far higher corpus.

The reason for the investing early is that you would have saved money for 35 years assuming your working life was 35 years as opposed to you start saving when you have only 5 years to retire. That is actually too little time for the huge amount of money to be saved to sustain the same standard of living as you are used in your working life.

Some one once said that saving money is like earning money and that in its real core is a true statement if you apply to the retirement situation.
