It’s a very valid question, especially considering that in recent years we constantly hear from financial experts, economists, and politicians that relying solely on the state pension in Ukraine is not advisable, and it’s necessary to take care of your own future well-being.
So, at what age is it best to start saving?
All experts agree on one thing – if you are already 18, working, and have a somewhat stable income, start right now, don’t wait until you’re 30-40-50… We understand that thinking about pension calculations, your old age, and insurance tenure is the last thing on your mind when you’re 20 and there are so many temptations around! Why not address this matter at a more “mature” age?
The answer is simple: the earlier you start, the easier it will be for you to build up a capital sufficient to lead an active life during retirement. The key to success is consistency and long-term planning.
How much should you save for your future pension?
If you start building your financial cushion at the age of 20, it’s sufficient to save 5-7% of your income during the first 10 years. After the age of 30, experts recommend increasing your savings to 15%. However, if your goal is to increase your pension by the age of 35, the initial contributions should already be 16% of your annual earnings, and after 40, it should be a full 20%.
In general, it is desirable to accumulate approximately 12 years’ worth of income by the age of 65. This will allow you to receive pension payments at around 45% of your previous salary, which is considered an optimal percentage for maintaining a decent standard of living in retirement.
How to earn additional retirement income?
There are various options: opening a bank deposit, investing in stocks, securities, and cryptocurrencies, investing in real estate, or contributing to a private pension fund. However, unlike all the options mentioned above, only pension insurance, in addition to effective capital accumulation, provides reliable insurance coverage in case of injury to the policyholder or financial support to their family in the event of the policyholder’s death due to an accident or traffic accident.
