Most people don’t stop to think about it, but retirement
is life’s biggest expense. It’ll cost more than your
kids’ tuition or even your home. That’s because retirement
can span up to one-third of your lifetime. It is much like saving
for a 25-year vacation.
It’s easy to get caught up in the demands of today (like finding that
darned tv remote and arranging your canned soup alphabetically)
and to forget about tomorrow. But, truly, to afford an expense
of this magnitude, you need to start planning and saving right
away. If you don’t already know the answers to these questions,
better look into it.
• Who funds retirement?
• How long is income needed?
• How does inflation impact income?
• Why do I need to save now?
