Most of us generally do not bother about savings and investment in early part of our career, but when we mature, by 40s, we realise the need to manage our finances.
 
By this time, we are almost in the middle of our working life.
 
Bank Bazaar says, "By 40s, you also have a clarity about your financial objectives and responsibilities. You still have 20-25 years to work, save and invest if you started working in the early 20s and plan to retire at 60."
