The best way to plan for retirement and save money over time is to start investing in a variety of assets early, begin contributing regularly to a retirement account, max out your contributions whenever possible, keep costs low by investing in index funds and ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds), and focus on growing your money through compound interest as much as you can. You should also strive for financial freedom and maximize the amount of passive income you have coming in each month. Setting up automated payroll contributions to any pension plans or retirement funds your workplace offers is a great way to start too, because these contributions will help reduce current tax liabilities with no direct cost to yourself. Taking advantage of employer matching programs that contribute part or all of an employee’s contribution into their accounts can also maximize growth potential - it's free money! If possible, make sure you always strive for maximum returns on all your retirement savings decisions without taking on risks beyond what you're willing or able comfortably afford long term as well: diversifying funds helps protect against significant portfolio losses - so take the time now (as soon as possible) until planning for future financial security begins looking more attractive every day!

The best way to plan for retirement and save money over time is to start investing as early as possible. Starting small increases potential returns while reducing risk over a long period of time. Additionally, having a diverse portfolio spread out across many different investments, including both stocks and bonds, helps manage the risk associated with losing money. Setting aside at least 10%-15% of your pre-tax income every year is generally recommended, but the exact amount should be based on your needs and preferences. It’s also important to review your retirement portfolio on a regular basis to ensure it's still appropriate for your changing needs.
