The people's voice of reason

IT'S NOT TOO LATE!

It seems like things are just getting busier and busier. You get up in the morning and life takes over. Whether you're trying to get kids to where they need to go, both spouses are working or you travel for your job. There is always something going on or someplace you need to be. Time is precious and it feels like there is not enough of it to go around. When your day is finally over, you may only feel like relaxing before going to bed. Then you get up and do it all over again.

Day after day, it is easy to get caught up in the things that demand our attention; family, work, church, volunteering, etc. Then one day you wake up and you are turning 55 and it hits you that you might want to retire in the next 10-15 years. You've been so caught up in the here and now that you have not given much thought to your future and you're not sure that you will be prepared enough to retire comfortably and remain comfortably retired. Well, it is not too late. Schedule time to sit down with a Financial Advisor to talk about what your options are. Find one who will help you think about things you don't normally think about, one who will help you determine your goals and then put a strategy in place to help you achieve those goals.

Depending on where you are at in life, you may feel that you don't have enough time to prepare yourself for life after work. But even if you are starting late, you will be further along than before you started. You may have already started but you have not reviewed your strategy lately. Have someone take a look at your strategy to make sure it is still in line with your goals. It won't take long but it could open your eyes to some different strategies that may improve your position.

No matter how you do it, ACT! Take that first step and get the ball rolling. You'll be glad you did.
