Amidst the rapid flow of digitalization and fast-paced lifestyles, saving for retirement is a challenge for many, especially the younger generation. Many focus more on short-term needs like traveling, getting well, or buying the latest items than on their financial future. As a result, awareness of building a retirement fund remains low, even though income continues to rise.
One major challenge is lifestyle inflation: when income increases, expenses also increase. Instead of setting aside money for the future, money is often spent on immediate desires. Furthermore, the emergence of various conveniences, such as pay later or interest-free installments, makes it easier for many people to go into debt rather than invest.
In fact, the sooner someone starts saving for retirement, the greater the potential returns thanks to the compounding effect. Setting aside a small portion of your income each month, even if it's not a large amount, can grow rapidly if done consistently and saved in the right instruments, such as pension mutual funds, pension funds (DPLK), or other long-term investments.
The modern era also brings new opportunities. Financial technology (fintech) now offers various applications that simplify retirement planning. These range from digital retirement calculators and automated investment platforms to online term savings accounts that can be tailored to your target retirement age.
Saving for retirement isn't just about numbers, but also about mindset. By shifting your perspective from "it's still a long way off" to "the sooner the better," the younger generation can ensure a more secure, independent future, free from financial stress in old age.
