When you’re in your twenties…
This is going to be around the time when you are in college and hopefully finishing your studies by the time you’re in your mid-twenties. This is going to be the best time for you to start saving money and establish good habits. While you are probably going to spend some time navigating your way through some major financial decisions, you will more than likely make a few mistakes along the way. Thankfully, you will have time to recover from any rash decisions that you happen to make. However, financial habits will also be established–both good and bad. So it will be in your best interest to get some sage advice for managing your finances and actually put that advice into practice. If you seriously implement this guidance, feasibly, you will find that your money is under much better control as you continue throughout your life.
When you’re in your thirties…
This will be a vital time for you financially, and you will ideally accomplish more during this time than in any other decade. While you could have as many as ten financial goals for this decade, let’s consider the most important financial solutions for your thirties.
- Pay off your student and credit card debts.
- Establish a regular money plan such as a budget.
- Invest in and protect your retirement.
- Save, save, save!
When you’re in your forties…

This is the time when you want to make sure you are preparing for the future like never before. Hopefully, your salary is the best it’s been, and you are established in your career. You may consider life insurance, or at least, contribute significantly to your retirement fund as well as your emergency fund. If you have not visited a professional for advice in this area, this is going to be the time you need to do so as soon as possible. Do not procrastinate.

When you’re in your fifties…
This is probably the most important decade for your financial strategy to be implemented because ideally, you will be retiring during your next decade. This is the time to ensure you are giving the maximum amount possible to your retirement accounts. Also, if you have not had the chance to pay off your mortgage yet (assuming you are a homeowner by this point), consider doing so if at all possible. It will make such a difference in your future retirement plans.
