Been very behind om retirement savings, due to living paycheck to paycheck. But have now got a few thousand dollars saved up! I need to catch up on saving for my retirement though. How do I do so in the best way? Do I invest part of it and hope for the best while continuing to save whatever I can? We are in our mid 30s and would like to retire in our early 60s.

Does your job offer a 401k and do they match? If they do try to invest in that.

If that’s not an option open up a Roth IRA, but make sure you invest what you are contributing in something like the S&P 500, and forget about it. I believe the limit for this year is 7,500 so make sure you max it out every year. that money and whatever it gains will be tax free at retirement.
