Many people either aren't informed or don't have the ability to save when they begin working. When did you start saving for retirement? Why?

I started saving for retirement at 20. My first account was a Roth IRA because I wanted to have as much time as possible for savings and compound interest to work. Once I finished college, I added a 403b and 457b to my retirement plans as both are offered by my employer.
After college, I started saving for retirement.

I started saving for retirement at 22 years old when I was offered a 401(k) plan through my employer.
I stared saving for retirement at the age of 40 through the company I work with.
32 opened Roth IRA, 401k and a brokerage account.
23 through my employer. I chose to pick my own investments, taught me to be way more comfortable choosing my own when I opened a Roth.
Age 19 through my first employer then transferring portfolios upon changing employers. I still current have a retirement 401k with current employer over 13 years
25, I was advised by co-workers to start immediately, but I wish I met them sooner :D
I would start with your first job, just open a Roth IRA, if you are not sure in the type of ETF or stock to buy, go to a robo advisor like wealth front or betterment and start investing with 10 dollars a week, and then increase it little by little. Let the magic of compound interest work. Read books on investment, educated yourself cause schools won't help you on this journey.
I am just starting to save
