I think about retiring all the time, and am (only) 38.
What's the saying?... The best time to invest was yesterday, the next best time is today (i know the original quote was about planting trees, but...).
My wife invests heavily in her 401k to take advantage of the matching, and we have additional investments through our financial advisor. Until my company closes our funding round and starts 401k matching, I'm not setting aside a lot, but hope to soon - time in the market is where the major benefit comes in.
We also put forth the maximum contribution to our kids' 529 college plans so we don't get hit with those costs 15 years (we have 3 year old twins, so it would all come at once).
Our long term plan is to set aside enough to comfortably retire in our 50's
- How do you like using a financial advisor? Do you feel like he has your best interests in mind?mg33

- I've had a friend recommend one a few times, which is nice since he likes the guy. Our lawyer could probably recommend someone as well.mg33
- I like our guy, and over the years have found him to have our best interests in mind (i think they're legally obligated to be).bulletfactory
