Do Not Become a Retirement Statistic

Are you prepared for retirement? Do not become a statistic of someone who will have a bleak retirement. Data from the Investment Company Institute during 2006.

Of the nearly 100 million Americans age 21 to 64 with full-time, year-round jobs:
  • 58.4 million people work for an employer that sponsors a retirement plan
  • 50.8 million people participate in a retirement plan

Perhaps the rest are contributing to an IRA? Only 14% of all U.S. households contribute to an IRA.

What does this mean? A whole lot of people are not prepared. Now would be a great time to start saving!!!!!
