MOST people recognize the need to plan for retirement. Various obstacles, though, prevent them from starting a plan. For instance, the monthly paycheck is just enough to cover basic and necessary expenses. There is zero left to save. When there is some excess, medical bills or emergencies can easily wipe it out. It is possible, too, that they are living beyond their means. Priorities also can be skewed toward short-term goals, leaving nothing for long-term goals, like saving for a comfortable retirement. But a major hindrance to creating a retirement plan is a lack of or limited knowledge. They simply do not know where or how to begin. As such, they never get started.

When we increase our know-how and muster the courage to take that first step, we put ourselves in a strong position to fully enjoy our golden years and not become financially dependent on family and on ayuda.
