Saving for retirement is a daunting task when all you look at is the end goal. It is too easy to feel disillusioned when you stare at the number that you are aiming for and it is too easy to keep putting it off in earlier years leaving with a monumental catch up effort when you near the end. The best time to start saving and putting a plan in place is yesterday, the next best time is today. Although it may be more difficult than it would have been, it will only continue to get harder the longer you wait. It is important to have a plan in place for retirement because it will help you gauge the solvency of your plan.
