So I am interested in retirement. I am trying to Imagine what it is like to just kick it at 55 not having to worry a whole lot about life in general, besides health If I make it to 55.

Just trying to get some input If I have 5k for retirement would it be wise to put this money in a retirement portfolio, Or wait till I have 10k for a cd that will bring interest. Just trying to figure what would be a good way to go for a step ahead in life
Thanks, CarpetJocky.
