3 Money Myths That Could Ruin Your Retirement
Katie Brockman advises those planning for retirement to avoid falling for these three myths: Myth #1: You’ll spend less in retirement than you’re spending now; Myth #2: It will be easier to save if you wait until you’re earning more money; Myth # 3: You can survive primarily on Social Security benefits. The last of these is so pervasive yet dead wrong. Social Security replaces only about 40 percent of pre-retirement income and was never intended for one to live on. It was designed to give someone a level of dignity to keep them out of abject poverty, not a way to fund their ‘golden years”. Read Brockman’s full piece here.
