I started saving since I graduated from college, but didn't put money into a Roth IRA until my first job. Now I'm putting money into a 457 and hoping I'll still get a decent pension when I retire.
it was when i read my first financial book "smart women finish first" back when i was 25 or so. shortly after i got my first real job so that's when i took action!
I started saving for retirement when I turned 26. I had been working with my current employer for 3 yrs by then, but had a hard time bringing myself to putting money away for later when I could be spending it on fun yet frivolous things NOW! I grew out of that mentality and started contributing a generous amount to my 401k.
I started saving for retirement when I get my first part time job at 17. I didn't have any bills back then because I was living at home. I'm glad I started so early because every bit helps.
I began paying into the local government retirement system at 22 when I got my first "grown-up" job. I started my Roth IRA at 25. At 26, retirement feels like a bazillion years away!
I should have started the moment I landed a good paying job. Unfortunately I was one among many who has a dwindling savings account. I guess that's why I scour the internet looking for places to get great deals and save on some extra cash.
I started saving for my retirement when I got my first job. With the economy unshaky nowadays, I'm surely not counting on social security to help fund my retirement.
When I was 11. I don't think I considered it "for retirement" specifically back then -- the concept was too fuzzy and I didn't know about things like IRAs or 401(k), but that's when I started saving a little bit of money that I would never, ever, ever touch... and that money is still with me today in my retirement account. It's not much, but to a kid, a few hundred dollars (saved over the course of middle school) was a small fortune not spent on ice cream or movie tickets like my little brother did.
I started saving a couple years after I got out of college and after I got married. I realized that I couldn't pass up the matching contribution to my 401k that my company offered.
When I was first hired as a teacher, I started saving but just a tiny bit. Since then, I've increased the amount but do wish I had done more right at the beginning.
Officially the start of my retirement planning was when I got my first job right out of college when I was 23. I then got more detailed a year later after I was out of my probationary period at work and a had one promotion under my belt.
I started saving as soon as I got a paycheck. Every little bit helps! Start when you're young and don't have as many bills to pay and start getting in the habit of saving. I started BEFORE I was 20!
In my early twenties, right after I started my first job. My mother told me to put 2000 into an IRA in the local bank. I did that for the first two years after I started working. Then, I didn't start saving for retirement until my early thirties, when I started a new job with a company that had a 401K program.
I started saving for retirement with my first job out of college at age 22. I've always maxed out my IRA contribution each year and when my employer had 401k plans, I did my best to contribute 15%.
Exactly 1 year ago, when I started my first job after college. Considering any full time job would result in magnitudes more money than I've ever seen EVER, I don't even notice my automatic 401k deductions and IRA withdraws. No student loans helps, though. I'm still in the phase of feeling flush with cash.
Started saving for retirement at 21- everyone kept telling me the greatest advantage I had was time.
I started saving for retirement at 23, when I set up my 401k with my company.

I started at age 18 with a Scottrade account and have built upon that until starting my 401k at age 22.

I actually started saving for retirement about two months ago. I'm 26 and figured it was a good time to start.

i started contributing with my first salaried job out of college. 401k automatically deducted out of each paycheck.
I started at age 26. Now at 62 I have saved enough to enjoy a comfortable retirement.

Sadly not until our late thirties - playing catchup!
