Today is Day 3 of America Saves Week — Save for Retirement!

Saving for retirement can be a scary concept if you aren't sure where to begin. It’s important for you to determine what you want your retirement to look like, so that you can save for the lifestyle you desire. Fast forward to one year into your retirement. What does life look like? Do you live in the town you’re in now, or have you moved to a different location? Do you spend your days relaxing at home, working part time to keep busy, volunteering, or traveling? 

Resource of the Day: Check out Gulf Winds' Financial Learning Center which has an entire section dedicated to retirement planning
