Food for thought

According to recent estimates, there are approximately 58 million American workers between the ages of 50 and 64. The median retirement savings for this group is only $26,000. To give you an idea of how miniscule $26,000 will be when combined with Social Security benefits, nearly half of these middle-class workers could well be living on a food budget of $5 per day.

Plan & Prosper

Only one third of Americans have a financial plan, whether of their own making or with the assistance of a financial adviser. More shocking is that 38% of Americans workers now live paycheck to paycheck. And fully half, have little or no money saved for their retirement years.

To succeed financially requires serious thought about money matters, regrettably many Americans prefer not to think about the future until it arrives.
