New figures show how sharply retirement saving costs rise with delay: at a 7% annual return, an investor starting at 25 needs to set aside roughly $381 a month to reach $1 million by 65, while someone waiting until 35 must save about $820 monthly. Updated tables by age and rate of return are circulating among personal finance readers.
