Your salary times your age divided by 20 should be your goal until your are 35, then the divisible factor should be 10, then at 50, the factor should be 5.

25 year old making $30,000 = $37,500 goal
35 year old making $60,000 = $210,000 goal
50 year old making $80,000 = $800,000 goal

This is all savings vehicles, including retirement accounts


This whole concept just seems really bogus. I crunched a few of the numbers and nothing really makes a whole lot of sense.

it is

a 25 year old is what? 3 years out of college? and only making $30k but has $37.5k in savings?

that is $12.5k/per year, over $1k per month

that is only net $2500 a month, which after taxes and whatnot, would live them with like $700/month for living expenses
