One of the most common questions I get from readers (and curious acquaintances) is how much money should I have saved by 30?

Vesting is not a term that I have heard of in dealing with life insurance and I have been selling insurance for 23 years. The term vesting is usually seen in retirement plan. In a retirement plan vesting means that percentage of the funds in the retirement plan that belong to the employee. Now all retirement plans have 5 year vesting which means for each year you are in the plan your percentage goes up 20%. In the third year that you are eligible to be in the retirement plan you would own 60% of the funds in your account and if you left the employer you can take it with you.

Know what kind of risks you are willing to take with your investments.
