Contributing to your retirement early allows you to take advantage of compound interest, turning even small investments into significant wealth over time. It reduces financial stress later in life, provides tax benefits, and ensures you don’t miss out on employer-matching contributions. Starting early also gives you more investment flexibility and helps protect your savings from inflation, ultimately leading to greater financial freedom.
