In your 30s: Get serious about saving
According to the report, T. Rowe Price has advised having 1x to 1.5x of one's annual income saved by their mid-to-late 30s to stay on track for retirement, as it is a crucial time to start increasing savings. For example, if a person earns $70,000 each year, they need to save about $70,000 to $105,000 in financial assets to be on track for a peaceful retirement plan, as per Moneywise.

In your 50s: Time to double down
While the analysts have recommended that a person should save 3.5x to 5.5x their annual income in their 50s to be on track to retire comfortably, reported Moneywise. For instance, if a person's annual income is $100,000, then they should save about $550,000 in total assets, according to the report.
Boost your savings rate
T. Rowe Price's team has also advised increasing one's annual savings rate to 15% of their income or more, reported Moneywise. The analysts wrote, "We found that 15% of income per year (including any employer contributions) is an appropriate savings level for many people, but higher earners should likely aim beyond 15%,' as quoted in the report.
In your 60s: Nearing the finish line
The analysts also mentioned that in the 60s, one must save 7.5x to 13.5x their annual salary in net assets to retire in a financially secure position, as per Moneywise. This means if a person is earning $120,000, then they must save at least $1.62 million in total wealth to consider leaving the workforce, reported Moneywise.

When one of them lifted the office shutter, two staff members managed to go out and raised an alarm. Another staff member locked the glass gate from inside, but one of the robbers fired a shot, shattering the glass, and then kicked the gate open. Both robbers entered, and threatened the staff at gunpoint and fled with Rs 35 lakh.
