Financial planning often involves key milestones that correspond with certain ages, marking significant steps in your financial journey. For example, at age 18, you gain the ability to open individual investment accounts and start building credit independently. At 26, you may lose parents’ health insurance coverage. By age 50, you can take advantage of catch-up contributions for retirement accounts, allowing you to save more as you approach retirement. Reaching age 62 opens the option to start receiving Social Security benefits, although waiting until full retirement age (typically 66 or 67) can increase your monthly benefit amount. Recognizing and preparing for these age-related financial milestones can help you stay on track with your goals, ensuring you maximize opportunities and navigate each stage of life with confidence and clarity.
