Some 44% of retirement savers in their 20s and 30s say they want to retire by 60, according to a recent survey from the World Economic Forum. Some investors have multiple 401(k) accounts from multiple jobs, and others are saving in other types of accounts, such as individual retirement accounts or regular brokerage accounts. Still, there's no doubt that many younger Americans currently aren't on track to retire at the current full retirement age of 67, let alone at 60. Here's how financial pros say you can calculate whether or not you'll be able to retire when — and how — you want. Then assume a withdrawal rate — what you're going to take out every year while, hopefully, your investments continue to grow.

Terry Vine | Getty ImagesHigher earners who maximize retirement savings now have more time for pretax catch-up 401(k) contributions, thanks to new IRS guidance. Currently, "catch-up contributions" allow savers 50 and older to funnel an extra $7,500 into 401(k) plans and other retirement plans beyond the $22,500 employee deferral limit for 2023. But the IRS on Friday announced a two-year delay for the change, meaning savers can still make pretax catch-up contributions through 2025, regardless of income. "The administrative transition period will help taxpayers transition smoothly to the new Roth catch-up requirement," the IRS said in a statement. Some 16% of eligible employees took advantage of catch-up contributions in 2022, according to a recent Vanguard report based on roughly 1,700 retirement plans.

To retire at 35 and live on investment income of $100,000 a year, you need at least $5.22 million invested. With an annual spending target of $65,000, you'll need about $3.25 million invested. How much you need invested to retire at 35According to Fry's calculations, an investor who leaves work at age 35 would need at least $5,225,000 in a taxable investment account on the day they retire in order to have an annual post-tax income of $100,000. If the investor reduces their target annual income to $65,000, they would need about $2 million less — or $3,250,000 — invested on the day they retire. Fry's simulation also did not factor in potential Social Security income.

Today's "niche" companies and those seen as AI leaders are unlikely to be the biggest winners for long-term investors, said Barry Glassman, a certified financial planner and member of CNBC's Advisor Council. "I've been through this enough to see that the niche players early on may not, in fact, be the long-term plays," Glassman said. Dan Romanoff, senior equity analyst with Morningstar Research Services, echoed that sentiment, saying investors would be hard-pressed to find a good "pure play" AI company in which to invest today. I would ask the question: What company isn't an AI company nowadays? However, it's unclear if such companies will remain among the AI leaders as the technology develops, experts said.

Savers are now getting higher cash yields after several interest rate hikes from the Federal Reserve. "Everyone thinks it's kind of a free lunch," said Tommy Lucas, a certified financial planner and enrolled agent at Moisand Fitzgerald Tamayo in Orlando, Florida. Falling into the regular tax brackets, ordinary income is less favorable than long-term capital gains. Similarly, taxable money market funds — which typically invest in shorter-term lower-credit-risk debt — and Treasury bills also trigger ordinary income. But Treasury bill earnings aren't subject to state or local taxes.

Experts say the path to healthy relationships for people with NPD or narcissistic personality traits is not impossible, but it's also not easy or affordable. Especially because many insurance plans might not cover specific mental health treatments. But for someone with more demanding mental health problems, the out-of-pocket cost can make treatment prohibitive. "There is a severe shortage of mental health therapists and many don't take insurance, as insurance companies pay very little for mental health therapy," she says.

Nearly 1 in 3 investors would use artificial intelligence as their financial advisor, a new survey suggests — and that has the potential to lead to flawed advice, experts said. Generative AI uses algorithms to create new content like essays, song lyrics, art, photography and computer code — or, in this case, financial advice. ChatGPT, a program that went viral after being debuted to the public late last year, is one example of generative AI. The algorithms that underpin generative AI compile data from sources like the internet to develop responses, and those data sources may not be reliable. In short, financial advice outputs won't necessarily be 100% trustworthy.

The wildfires in Maui are just the latest example of severe weather and the peril facing utilities. However, investors can pick up about 4% yield on stocks that have dividends that are considered safe, which makes them attractive to investors seeking income. Climate change's impact Climate change is altering not only the Earth's temperature, but also precipitation patterns, said Zachary Zobel, risk associate director at Woodwell Climate Research Center. Climate change could impact utilities in other areas, like sustaining damage during hurricanes and floods. "You don't have to just rely on just one sector to get dividend income," said Cheng.

Moyo Studio | E+ | Getty ImagesSocial Security benefits provide retirement income for millions of Americans. Myth 1: Claiming early is bestNegative headlines may scare people into claiming as early as possible to get the most benefits. Eligibility for Social Security retirement benefits starts at age 62. Myth 4: Social Security benefits are not taxedThanasis | Moment | Getty ImagesThe misperception that Social Security benefits aren't taxed is "perhaps the biggest myth of all," said Mary Johnson, Social Security and Medicare policy analyst at The Senior Citizens League. That includes the sum of your adjusted gross income, nontaxable interest and half of your Social Security benefits.

High-yield savings accounts, with easy access to your funds, are worth considering, said Ken Tumin, founder and editor at DepositAccounts.com. While investors expect the Federal Reserve to start cutting interest rates next year, online savings account rates won't fall significantly until the policy shifts, he added. Treasury billsAmid rising interest rates, Treasury bills have also become a competitive option for cash, with yields well above 5%, as of Aug. 18. Money market fundsAnother option to consider is short-term money market funds, said certified financial planner Chris Mellone, partner at VLP Financial Advisors in Vienna, Virginia. Money market mutual funds — which are different from money market deposit accounts — typically invest in shorter-term, lower-credit-risk debt, such as Treasury bills.

Here's what you need to know about the impact of collections and how to get them removed from your credit report. As it ages on your credit report, its effect on your credit score will decrease until it falls off entirely. There are a few different — and completely legal — ways you can try to remove it from your credit report to fix your credit score. While paying off a debt in collections will not improve your credit or remove the collections from your credit report, a collections agency can sue you for unpaid debt if it's still within the statute of limitations. A CFPB report on credit reports in 2022 found 175 million total collections tradelines on credit reports, down from 261 million when the report was last updated in 2018.

Here's why Americans can't stop living paycheck to paycheck

For many Americans, payday can't come soon enough. As of June, 61% of adults are living paycheck to paycheck, according to a LendingClub report. In other words, they rely on those regular paychecks to meet essential living expenses, with little to no money left over. Almost three-quarters, 72%, of Americans say they aren't financially secure given their current financial standing, and more than a quarter said they will likely never be financially secure, according to a survey by Bankrate. That amount already accounts for about 61% of the median take-home pay.

The balanced portfolio — reported by many to have died in 2022 — is experiencing a revival. The iShares Core Growth Allocation ETF (AOR) that mimics the strategy lost 15.6% in 2022, including reinvested dividends. Investors sitting tight were rewarded, however, as 2023's run-up in stocks helped lift the 60/40 model. "And thanks to higher interest rates, investors are getting much higher compensation for taking interest rate risk compared to 2021-2022." A 60/40 portfolio isn't right for all investors and their situations, but it does create a foundation for sound investments, said Preston Cherry, CFP and founder of Concurrent Financial Planning.

dowell | Moment | Getty ImagesIf you're sitting on profitable assets, there's a lesser-known tax-gain harvesting strategy, which can help rebalance your portfolio or trim future taxes. While tax-loss harvesting can be popular during a stock market downturn, tax-gain harvesting — or strategically selling appreciated brokerage account assets — can also be beneficial, depending on your financial goals, experts say. One of the key opportunities for tax-gain harvesting is for investors who fall into the 0% capital gains bracket, which applies to long-term capital gains, or assets owned for more than one year. The 0% bracket allows you to sell a certain amount of profitable assets without triggering capital gains taxes, which provides a chance to take the proceeds or rebalance your portfolio, according to Brown. While the so-called wash sale rule blocks investors from claiming a tax benefit after selling a losing asset and repurchasing within 30 days, the law doesn't apply when harvesting gains, Collado said.

Millennial couples are more likely to live together, with 65%, versus 37% of Gen Z couples. More than half of couples, 54%, said finances were part of their decision to move in together. Half of couples don't split the mortgage or rent equally, and 39% do not split pet costs equally, the survey found. Experts say the survey results underscore that when it comes to sharing expenses, equal isn't always equitable, or fair. "I think it's almost not fair to split finances 50-50 without taking into account your partner's financial situation," said Daigle, who is also a member of the CNBC Financial Advisor Council.

Easy access to credit Readily available lines of credit may encourage consumers to live up to standards that are not economically feasible, said Thakor. Credit card balances are up almost 20% from a year ago, according to a quarterly credit industry insights report from TransUnion. Social media "Social media puts everything on steroids," said Thakor. People who consume social media are often exposed to content that shows images of people they may know, or from influencers, that make them feel, quite often, inadequate. Remember that social media can be misleading "The bottom line is we are inundated with misinformation around how people become wealthy and how wealthy people spend their money," he said.

watch nowAfter more than a year of recession predictions, some experts have backed off past forecasts and now embrace what's known as a "soft landing" for the economy. Even so, one financial advisor is stressing the importance of preparing for future stock market volatility. While a soft landing may be good news for investors, there's a risk of becoming "a bit complacent" about market volatility, said Glassman, who is also a member of CNBC's Financial Advisor Council. Glassman said a lot of people are wondering how to shift their investments given the "rosy scenario" of a soft landing. 'Investors are finally getting paid to wait'While future volatility is possible, the current economic environment offers a silver lining for investors.
