Retirement

Retire With a Real Million Bucks
A million dollars is still a lot of money. And if your house is paid for and your kids are on their own, it's enough for you to retire on and live out your golden years comfortably on the $40,000 or so a year you could pull from it. That -- and the fact that it's a nice round number with a brand new comma in it -- makes $1,000,000 a great target for retirement savings.
Pick the Right Time to Retire

Every year, millions of near-retirees have to make a crucial decision: when to start taking their Social Security benefits. Although making the wrong choice can cost you and your family thousands of dollars over your lifetime, don't panic -- thinking through your options will help you figure out the right thing to do.

Is Your Retirement in Bondage?

Hey! Wanna buy a bond?

The other day, I spent some time with a friend who was stressed out about retirement. His employer offered a 401(k) plan, but he had yet to enroll in it.
