I am getting closer to that retirement day every day. I feel somewhat prepared. I can always work part time, if need be. I feel that I am way to active to sit around the house and collect dust. Getting prepared for retirement is a challenge these days. It is good that you younger people are having this conversation. Going to the AARP website is a very good suggestion, they are a wonderful organization there to help out older people.

Dadummy you are so optimistic and I like that approach. People like you inspire us to take life seriously and move on.

One thing is for sure our life after retirement is of course very important but that should not stop us from saving for our child. If we are bringing the child to life then at every step when he stumbles we should be the one to pull him up. Thats what parents are all about Smile

I have looked at the AARP website and know alot of seniors that are part of the organization. I think it is a good guide to start with, seeing whats available now may inspire us for our futures.

Very very true. My parents are both members of the AARP and they love it! very informative organization, they send frequent newsletters about services available and financial tips. I think my mom collects those things, i'll have to get them next week when we see them for the holidays. she always loads me with goodies Smile maybe she'll have some newsletters to give me as well

You are never too young or too old to prepare for retirement, starting young is smart.

I agree dadummy. We all have to go through that stage in life so starting early helps a lot. The earlier the better

I am just preparing for the future Laughing. You are welcome debt. I found it interesting and in a way mistakes can be avoided if we know about it.

I can't ever see me fully retiring, I will always work part time at least to stay busy, I would go crazy sitting home everyday. I feel better when I am out and about and involved in something useful. I can't do all the physical work that I used to do, but I can still do a good days work.

Isn't that the truth, at 24 I'm very skeptical on the stability of hte social security system and I'm having a hard time, despite being college educated, finding a job that will either allow me to contribute to my retirement or even better match my retirement efforts. that is a big goal of mine. Yes, I know that I can contribute on my own but right now i have a hard time making ends meet, but hopefully that won't always be the case and I can start saving for that wonderful day that I"m on the beach with a handsome man/men (i'm single Wink enjoying life. perhaps i won't be single in my sixties or hey maybe i will Smile Smile
