A survey I saw recently reported that ther’s a gap between self assessment and reality when it comes to one’s own retirement preparedness.  For instance, 24% of households fear that they’re inadequately prepared for retirement even though they’re really not at risk.  On the other hand, 19% think they’re prepared, but they’re not.*

 

Thinking about retirement in the current economic climate is worrisome, I know.  When so many households are focusing on how to make ends meet in the short term, saving and investing for the future may not be the top priority.  Call me.. I can help you prioritize and reorganize.. rather than eliminate your saving and investing habits.  Balancing short-term concerns with ling-term goals is crucial to surviving tough economic times.

 

Make sure you know where you stand with regard to retirement savings..don’t be unprepared and unaware.
