Echo Boomer Retirement Guide

Starting something new—a new job, a new exercise routine—isn’t easy. It takes work and determination. But it can also lead to great rewards: In the case of a new job, perhaps those rewards include a greater income and growth opportunities. With exercise, it might mean a healthier you and a new wardrobe.

It’s the same with investing: At first it can be daunting, but once you’ve taken your first steps, you will find that you’re setting yourself up for a future of reward. Those rewards may involve purchasing your first home, or getting a head start on an early retirement.

The folks at Morningstar created the Echo Boomer Retirement Guide to help younger investors get started with investing and saving for their futures. Who are the echo boomers? They are the largest generation of young people since the '60s. Born between 1982 and 1995, there are nearly 80 million of them, and they're already having a huge impact on entire segments of the economy. And as the population ages, they will be become the next dominant generation of Americans.
