Your 30s often combine peak career growth with family costs. Fund retirement at least to the employer match, then increase annually.


Debt and Home


Kill high-interest debt before stretching on a house. Keep an emergency fund even while saving for a down payment.


Insurance


Term life if dependents rely on your income; disability if you are the primary earner.


Conclusion


Automate increases to savings every raise.
