If you want to retire and live comfortably, you need to start saving as soon as possible.

Everyone can save a little money, regardless of how much you make or how many bills you have.

While saving money can be tough sometimes, when you finally do retire from your job, you will be glad you have a savings to fall back on.

If you are ready to start planning for your retirement, consider these tips.

Savings Account
Set up a retirement savings account and keep it separate from your other savings and checking accounts. Choose a set amount of money to deposit into the savings account each week or month and stick to it. Eventually you won’t even miss the money you deposit into the account and it will be waiting on you when you retire.
