Russia's military will have to be rebuilt because of the war in Ukraine, experts say. But the war in Ukraine has decimated the Russian military that Putin spent years building, while raising questions about his grip on power, Russia experts and military analysts told Insider. Russia's military is going to have to be rebuilt," George Barros, a military analyst at the Institute for the Study of War, told Insider. These losses have forced the Russian military to resort to pulling obsolete Soviet-era equipment, such as T-62 tanks, out of storage. The Russian military is "not nearly as powerful as we thought it was," he said.

If Russia used a nuclear weapon in Ukraine, it could trigger a military response from the US, which could spiral into a direct conflict between Russia and NATO — a 30-member alliance.

At the end of the day, the goal really is to just make sure you're saving some portion of your paycheck — even just $20. On the other hand, Barros notes, if you're saving for retirement and you're in your 20s, you can get away with saving between 10% to 15% of every paycheck if you want to retire by age 60. While saving 20% of every paycheck is a pretty standard rule, use the guidelines we outlined above to help you determine what's best for your personal financial circumstances.
