How Much Much To Invest By Age

Investing should start as early as possible to take advantage of the power of compound interest.

Here’s a benchmark to give you an idea of how much you should have already invested by age for retirement with a moderate approach.

The younger you are when you begin investing, the more time you have for your initial investments to grow and increase your financial portfolio.

Age: 20s

Up to 95% in stocks, with up to 5% remaining in bonds.

In your 20s, you have more risk tolerance, and you have more time to absorb changes in the market, you can focus on more aggressive growth stocks and avoid slow-growing assets like bonds.

Age: 30s

Up to 85% in stocks, with up to 15% remaining in bonds.

In your 30s, you can still afford some risk.

Age: 40s

Up to 80% in stocks, with up to 20% remaining in bonds.

Age: 50s and 60s

Up to 60% in stocks, with up to 40% in bonds
