As we baby boomers approach retirement age, the time in our lives when we’re staring retirement right in the face, for most of us it’s beginning to look like we are staring at the other end.
Forget the retirement calculator. The experts tell us that most of our generation hasn’t saved anything at all! And a retirement home can be really expensive!
The truth is the average boomer has about one years worth of savings. That’s ok— if you’re dying soon, but if you plan on staying around for a while you’d better give some serious thought to a better plan. The honest truth is that, with this current recession, you may already be retired and don’t even know it yet.
This is a website dedicated to retirement or, more specifically, retirement plans. No, not the ones the financial planners try to “sell” you, but the ones you really come up with yourself.
There are as many plans as there are people, but many probably won’t work. Let’s face it, when we’re 70 it’s a little late to be finding out that our plan won’t work. We’ve not much time left to figure it out so, with that in mind we’re going to offer up some ideas for discussion and encourage you to send in any plans or ideas you have for getting through our last years.
All comments and retirement ideas are greatly encouraged.
You comments can be viewed on the BLOG page.
Great idea…one good idea, don’t buy a house when you are 64!
