要实现财务安全,存多少钱永远比赚多少钱或者投资多精明更重要。


If you're under 30 years old, your goal should be to save 20% of your monthly income after tax deductions. This is irrespective of how much you earn.

如果你还不到三十岁,那么你的目标应该是将每月税后收入的20%用作储蓄。这个数目与你赚多少钱无关。

如果你发觉自己一分钱都存不下,先从减少一切不必要支出入手,把1%2%的少量收入划作储蓄之用,然后再逐渐增加。


Always keep that 20% goal in mind, prevent yourself from becoming complacent. It can be challenging to stick to such a strict plan, but if you adopt the right mindset, you should be able to make it work for you.

始终牢记20%的目标,以防自己免得自满。要坚持执行如此严格的计划,可能具有一定挑战性,但如果你能树立正确的心态,就应该能让它发挥作用。


So what should you be doing with the money that you are saving? Some must be kept easily accessible in case you need some cash in an emergency.

那么你应该如何处理存下来的钱呢。其中一小部分必须存放到易于取用的地方,以防紧急情况下需要用钱。


The largest proportion should be invested in retirement plans, either through your employer or privately. And you can keep some money for high risk, but potentially lucrative investments.

最大那部分则应该通过你的雇主或以私人方式投入退休金计划。你还可以留一部分用于风险高但潜在利润丰厚的投资。


Dividends can be reinvested or use to purchase something you like. By following plan, you should hopefully be able to enjoy your life now and still be financially secure in the future.
