Retirement savings: Start early, despite the risk!

........You can moderate returns-compounding risk by continually reducing your equity investments after 45 and buying bonds that mature at retirement; returns-compounding on bonds is positive if held till maturity. This positive feature of bonds is useful as you can apply the rule of 72 (72 ÷ return is approximate years to double your investment) to achieve your objective, especially in the 10 years leading to your retirement. So, start your retirement savings early!.........
