US News & World Report speaks out on Retirement...
How do your retirement funds look? Are your expenses increasing while you find your funds decreasing right before your eyes? Isn't it time to stop the leak? Be assured you will create the right financial outcome at any age!


U.S. News & World reports shared the article written by Kimberly Palmer, Posted December 16, 2008 on "7 ways to Save for Retirement during a recession." She states "The recession appears to be forcing many consumers to sacrifice their retirement savings...A significant number of Americans don't know how much they need to save to maintain their standard of living [in retirement]," says Craig Averill, personal retirement solutions executive for Bank of America. Some 62 percent of survey respondents said they were either behind schedule in terms of their retirement planning or had not yet started."

This is not the first recession we have lived through. Why do we act as if it is? Why are we surprised when our retirement funds decrease because of current market trends? How do we know what is enough to take care of our needs long term?

Those are great questions. Questions I'm sure we each have asked ourselves. I'm in the same situation. When I was in my 20's, retirement was not even a thought. When I was in my 30's, I knew I should be thinking and preparing more for our retirement but family needs got in the way. Now, I'm approaching retirement crossing my fingers I have done enough. I wish I started earlier like most of you. I'm a college graduate but still I believed I must have been less educated than most. That simply is not true! I simply did not know. How do you know what you don't know? I simply refused to keep chasing ideas out there; I finally did something about it. www.Moneymama.biz shares what I did because I didn't know where to turn, who to learn from.
