What is it? How will it affect me? What can I do to manage unintended consequences?
Taking the first step in planning your finances and saving for retirement is always confusing, if not outright painful. Avoiding doing what is right and necessary is, however, a snowball to even bigger financial problems and even greater confusion.
The question of timing could hardly ever be more relevant in investing. This relevance cuts both ways in that: An individual who sees value in early entry in the market would be motivated to invest more, as doing so compounds the individual’s investment gains. Conversely, a person who approached investing in later years with skeptics and ever dwindling investible asset compounds—with each passing day—his/her fear of losing his money. And, the longer the delay getting started with investing, the more investing feels like a gamble. This is because the pressure to have stable, growing investments increases as the window of opportunity for growing one’s assets closes. For this reason, investing—especially for retirement—is a “sink or swim” endeavor in which avoiding taking the necessary steps to invest at the earliest possible time simply “kicks the can down the road” on an eventual financial squeeze. To avoid such squeeze a person can, and should, take the first steps towards saving for retirement, however confusing and painful taking such steps may see.
