Here's how much money you have to save each month to be a millionaire by age 67. via CNBCMakeIt
Reaching seven-figure status isn't as hard as you may think. In fact, some say that"millionaire is the new middle class."
div > div.group > p:first-child"> To illustrate just how attainable the dream of becoming a millionaire could be, personal finance site NerdWallet created a chart showing how much money you need to set aside each month in order to have $1 million saved by the time you're 67. The chart assumes you're starting with zero dollars invested. It also assumes a 6 percent average annual investment return, which is fairly conservative: The average return on long-term investments is around 10 percent annually.
The amount you have to save depends heavily on how early you start. NerdWallet listed the savings amount needed for the starting ages of 23, 30, 35 and 40. As the chart shows, the sooner you start putting your money to work, the less you'll have to save each month, thanks to the power of compound interest. Compounding makes a sum grow at a faster rate than simple interest, because in addition to earning returns on the money you invest, you also earn returns on those returns over time.
You can also research low-cost index funds, which Warren Buffett recommends, and online investment platforms known as robo-advisers. This is an update of a previously published story. Don't miss: Here's how much Americans at every age have in their savings accounts
