Preparing for Retirement
If you ask yourself why it’s important to invest, one of the answers may well be a comfortable retirement. To ensure your retirement matches or comes close to the way you want to live, you’re likely to need a source of income in addition to Social Security and whatever pension a former employer might provide. Fortunately, Congress has created a variety of specialized retirement savings plans to give your efforts an added boost.
The following resources are all available free online, or through SELCO libraries. Ask your local librarian if you have further research needs.
