This sounds all too familiar to many people. And we all ask the same question... “How did time fly by so fast?" Well, we all had different things we were dealing with at different times, but often times similar. Think about it:
Age 25
"Hey, we can't save for retirement now. We just out of school, have student loans to pay and I need a new car. Plus, time to have some fun and I have plenty of time to save."
Age 35
"We can't save another nickel between the growing family, new mortgage, and private schools. We will have plenty of extra money later. Plenty of time."
Age 45
"Save more for retirement? Are you kidding? We have one kid in college and another right behind this one. It's the most expensive time in our lives. When the kids are out of college, we will get a big pay raise, and will start plowing away retirement money then."
Age 55
"I know that we should be saving more for retirement, but things didn't work out like we thought. We got caught in a market sell off and had to start a new job. We are just strapped."
Age 65
"Where did the years go? We thought that we had plenty of time to save for retirement. We weren't worried because our 401k’s and our tech stocks were flying. Then boom... a market correction. Is there anything that we can do now? We need additional retirement income…"
Luckily, the answer is "Yes!"
