it's thirsty thursday. from the first moment you get a real job you're told to start saving for retirement. >> it's not that easy. experts say you'll need to save at least eight to ten times your annual salary before you can stop working. >> wow, so will you be ready? an article in real simple magazine has specific tips for people at every age and how to retirement with enough savings. here is the beautiful host of soul money podcast and the financial contributor to "o," the oprah magazine. >> can you say congratulations? >> yes, you may. >> expecting baby number two. >> we're so happy for you. >> retirement is not something that many 20-year-olds are even contemplating. we're going to go through the decades. >> trying to make ends meet, pay their bills. >> it's not easy but really in

your 20s this is the opportune time because with compound interest, you finish early, you start well. if you don't have access to one because you're working for a start-up or you're freelancing, open an individual retirement account and max it out. >> and is it really -- is it realistic, again, given, you know, how crummy you usually get paid in the beginning and you can barely pay your cable. >> don't get overwhelmled. a little bit. $5, $10 a day. >> and don't dip into it. >> and make sure you're not spending a lot of money on grad school. try looking into online schools. you'll save a bundle. >> oh, smart. >> okay, let's move on to our 30s, shall we? >> yes. >> all right, to rent or to buy. a big question. >> we all want to buy homes in our 30s but you have to make sure the math adds up. i like to say keep your housing costs to no more than 30% of your take home pay. that's including the mortgage, utilities, insurance. if you can't make that math work

out, consider renting for a little longer. a lot of us in our 30s consider going back to stay at home to raise our kids because child care is so expensive. all i would say to that is do the long-term math. because when you're out of the workforce, it's not just the salary you're forfeiting but it's also the opportunity to invest in retirement at work and also your social security benefits might get reduced. so just do the math and keep a foot in the door even if you're not working. continue networking with colleagues. >> that is smart. that's smart. all right. we're already in our 40s. >> time has passed. >> this is how fast it actually goes. >> really important in your 40s. you don't want to arrive at retirement with a lot debt. i say prioritize your mortgage and put an extra payment every year towards principal. a 13th payment, if you will. that will really knock down the debt there. and then, you know, a lot of parents think okay now i got to start saving for college and i'll put retirement savings on hold. don't do that. prioritize your retirement. if you're just gung-ho --

>> it's important? >> it's so much more important. we don't have scholarships for retirement. there's no grants for retirement. it's all on you. just make sure that you also enlist your kids in educating them about how they can help save for college. >> student loans add up like crazy though too. >> here we are, we're into our 50s. >> we're in our 50s now. this isn't really so much a financial tip but it does matter for your bottom line. stay healthy. make sure you're going to the doctor. you're staying aware how much you're eating, your physical health, your exercise. keep up with that because that will ultimately reduce hopefully your health costs in retirement. and then, if you haven't saved anything yet, this is really the time to be stepping up. >> late to start, 50s. >> it is, but with 401ks and i.r.a.s, you can catch up. there's a provision for us 50 and older. are i.r.a.s, you can contribute
