The top 10 reasons
why people put off saving for retirement. Anything sound familiar?
1. |
I want to give my children the chance to pay me back for all the years I took care of them. |
2. |
I can work longer - maybe into my 80s or 90s? My great-grandfather did it. It can't be that hard. |
3. |
I'm hoping to win the lottery. I work hard at it. |
4. |
I might not make it to retirement. |
5. |
Government benefits will cover me. I can learn to live frugally. |
6. |
I don't want to think about. I can't stand the thought of growing old. |
7. |
I don't have time. I barely have time to plan my day, let alone my retirement. |
8. |
I'm too busy paying off my debts. |
9. |
It's too late. I should have taken care of it earlier. |
10. |
It's too soon. I'll get to it someday. |
