I need to start saving for retirement too. I just finished paying off my lands and have no idea where to start.

How old are you?

Saving money and building a nest egg is always worth it. Whether you want an IRA or some other kind of account is a more complicated question and depends on your tax situation and where you anticipate you'll be in life income wise etc.

I get $12 an hour, and put away $500 a month. Not all for retirement, but that's what I can manage.

You should always try and put away something, but if you're making less than that, I can imagine it'd be hard. I sometimes struggle not to dip into my savings. Just put away something now and you'll at least have something later. Even if it's not a lot, it's something.

I'm not sure I could recommend an actual retirement account though. Just put it into a savings account now, and once you've built it up a bit transfer it over to a retirement account.
