Saving $100 a Month? You'll Be $1.1M Short of a Comfortable Retirement — 5 Things You Can Do
Saving $100 a month might feel like a comfortable way to build a nest egg, but is it enough for retirement? With rising costs, longer retirements and stagnant savings yields, that $100 won't necessarily stretch far when it matters most. Trending Now: For You: Why $100 a Month Isn't Enough A study from looked at how wide the gap really is. Someone with $8,000 in savings (the median U.S. bank balance according to according to the latest Survey of Consumer Finances data) who adds $100 each month will end up with just $57,629.53 after 20 years, assuming a 4.4% annual return. That's against a retirement target of $1.25 million, the amount needed to cover 25 years of expenses at $50,000 a year. The shortfall? A massive $1,192,370.47. Even bumping contributions to $500 per month still leaves the final balance at just $211,122.92, a long way from financial freedom. Here are six strategies that can make a meaningful difference over time. See Next: Look for Easy Expenses To Cut Some expenses, like unused subscriptions or overpriced delivery habits, are an obvious place to start when it comes to adding to monthly savings. Being able to redirect even $50 to $100 a month into savings can be an immediate win and doesn't have to be too painful. Increase Contributions Early and Often Waiting for a raise or a milestone to start saving more is a luxury most can't afford. Even a $25 increase now beats a $100 increase five years from now. Whether boosting automatic payroll deductions or increasing personal retirement account contributions, it's important to revisit savings annually and raise the amount steadily. Use the Right Type of Accounts Tax-advantaged accounts like 401(k)s, Roth IRAs and traditional IRAs offer valuable benefits in the run-up to retirement. Pre-tax growth, compound interest and employer matching can help retirement savings grow faster, with the average 401(k) match in 2025 between 4% and 6% of compensation, according to Vanguard. Invest With a Long-Term Lens Holding everything in cash may feel safe, but it often falls short of keeping up with inflation. Compound growth requires time and some risk tolerance. Building a diversified portfolio focused on long-term growth is one of the most effective ways to help savings grow enough to meet real retirement goals. Push Back Retirement by a Few Years While it might not be a popular choice, delaying retirement even by a few years can make a meaningful difference. It gives investments more time to grow, adds more contributions and shortens the number of years savings need to last.

Marvell Stock Is Soaring—Here's Why
Shares of Marvell Technology (MRVL) soared on Wednesday after Morgan Stanley raised its price target on the chipmaker's stock, citing the 'exceptional' strength of AI demand. Morgan Stanley analyst Joseph Moore on Wednesday raised his Marvell price target by about 10% to $80 while maintaining an 'equal weight' rating. 'Marvell is firmly in the AI winners camp, and sentiment has swung aggressively negative compared to a few months ago,' Moore wrote. 'We are more excited for their opportunity in optical, which brings higher margin and durability vs. their ASIC opportunity, which has disappointed.' (ASIC refers to application-specific integrated circuit, a class of customizable chip that combines several circuits to perform tasks that would otherwise require multiple interconnected chips.) Marvell shares were up more than 9% in recent trading, making it the best-performing stock in the Nasdaq 100. Despite Wednesday's gain, Marvell shares are down about 23% since the start of the year. Marvell is just one of several semiconductor stocks Moore expects to benefit from strong AI demand over the next year. He also raised his 12-month price targets on Nvidia (NVDA) by 17%, Broadcom (AVGO) by 25%, Astera Labs (ALAB) by 26%, and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) by more than 50%. All of those stocks were also trading in the green on Wednesday. (Read Investopedia's full coverage of today's trading here.) 'While stock prices have moved higher, our conviction on AI spend durability in 2026 continues to grow,' Moore wrote. Google parent Alphabet (GOOG) last week raised its full-year capital expenditures forecast, citing the need to accelerate data center buildouts to meet seemingly insatiable demand for AI and cloud computing. Investors will get more updates on the strength of AI investment after markets close on Wednesday when tech giants Microsoft (MSFT) and Meta (META) report earnings.
