Hi everyone! I’m 29F and currently working abroad as an OFW. I recently got my SSS account and I’m thinking of starting my contributions because I want to prepare for my retirement in the future.

For fellow OFWs, is 29 too early to start contributing to SSS? Or is it actually better to start as early as possible?

I’m also wondering how much would be a reasonable monthly contribution. Should I just start with the minimum and gradually increase it as my income grows, or is it better to contribute a higher amount from the beginning?

I’m mainly thinking long-term and want to make sure I’m making the right decision with my money. I’d appreciate advice from fellow OFWs or anyone who has been contributing to SSS for years. Thank you!
