あらすじ・解説
Perhaps you’ve never thought of “buying” your retirement. Yet, that is exactly what you do when you put money into a retirement nest egg. You are paying today for the cost of your retirement tomorrow.
The cost of those future years is getting more expensive for most Americans for two reasons. First, we live longer after we retire - with many of us spending 15, 25, even 30 years in retirement - and we are more active. Second, you may have to shoulder a greater chunk of the cost of your retirement because fewer companies are providing traditional pension plans.
Many retirement plans today, such as the popular 401(k), are paid for primarily by the employee, not the employer. You may not have a retirement plan available at work, or you may be self-employed. This puts the responsibility of choosing retirement investments squarely on your shoulders.
Unfortunately, just about 55 percent of all workers are earning retirement benefits at work, and many are not familiar with the basics of investing. Many people mistakenly believe that social security will pay for all or most of their retirement needs. The fact is, since its inception, social security has provided a minimum foundation of protection. A comfortable retirement usually requires social security, employer-based retirement plan benefits, personal savings, and investments.
In short, paying for the retirement you truly desire is ultimately your responsibility. You must take charge. You are the architect of your financial future. That may sound like an impossible task. Many of us live paycheck to paycheck, barely making ends meet. You may have more pressing financial needs and goals than “buying” something so far in the future. Or, perhaps, you’ve waited until close to retirement before starting to save. Yet, you still may be able to afford to buy the kind of retirement you want. Whether you are 18 or 58, you can take steps toward a better, more secure future.
