The Essential Investing Guide: How to Become a Millionaire by Age 65
Hi, I'm Tyler, a former financial advisor and portfolio manager. My goal is to provide free financial content so you can achieve financial freedom without the costs.
Investing at 20
If you're 20 years old, you only need to invest $319 a month, which breaks down to just $10.50 a day. This is a small price to pay for future financial freedom.
Investing at 30
However, if you wait until you're 30, you’ll need to invest about $606 a month, or $20 a day. It’s getting more expensive to become a millionaire!
Investing at 40
If you reach 40 without investing, you're looking at needing to save approximately $1,300 a month. Is it doable? Yes. Is it an uphill battle? Definitely.
Start Now
As the saying goes, the best time to plant a tree was 30 years ago; the second best time is today. Open a brokerage account, fund it with just $50 a month, and invest in low-cost index funds. Your future self will thank you for it.
