Fidelity's guideline: Aim to save at least 1x your salary by 30, 3x by 40, 6x by 50, 8x by 60, and 10x by 67. Factors that will impact your personal savings goal include the age you plan to retire and the lifestyle you hope to have in retirement. If you're behind, don't fret.

Fidelity's guideline: Save 15% of your income annually - including any match you get from your employer. This assumes you start saving at age 25 and plan to retire at age 67. If 15% is too much, start where you can.
