If you save and invest, other people are paying you to use your money. It’s a lot more fun to see your money working than having to work yourself.

It gets harder to amass wealth as you get older. If you wait until you’re 32 and put away $4000 at 10%, you would have about $975,000, still a respectable amount.

At 42, you’d only be able to accumulate approximately $350,000.

If you’re 50 and can start putting $5000 (those over 50 are allowed "catch up contributions") away today, you’ll have around $175,000 at age 65.
