It is possible to enjoy your life before retirement at 65?

Will you have enough in retirement? Consider these facts: Almost 58 percent of American workers have not calculated how much money they will need to save for retirement. Most workers have not saved enough for retirement. Almost half have saved less than $50,000. Social Security and pensions only account for 58% of your income in retirement. What does this mean? In the future, we may be spending more time in retirement than we've planned, our income sources may be lower, and our money may have to last longer than we expect. With inflation and taxes a given, it's going to become increasingly important to plan ahead so that you won't outlive your retirement income. Why won't people invest in themselves? Why won't people become business owners? Why won't people take the time to make there own future secure? Just a fact retirement and social security may not be around long enough to enjoy in the near future. So were will we find or selves?

1. It is possible to enjoy your life today, try it. It is fun to plan for the future, to save, to invest.
2. The increase in the cost of living and adult children having to care for their minor children and sometimes their own parents, has taken a bite out of the family income. The ones who enjoy life the most are the ones who refuse to allow themselves to be judged by other people's standards. Go get an ice cream cone.
3. not everyone thinks ahead. they plan only for what will get them into the future. most will never find an opportunity to live the lives they want. i feel sorry for them.
