Want to Retire? How much money will you need?
Hi Folks,
I am retired. I have been retired for six years (Gosh! It doesn’t seem that long!), and I am here to tell you - from experience – that if you don’t have one million dollars, a part time job, or a side-line business, don’t retire!
I have another blog – www.retirementonabudget.com- and each day the most visitors I get to that blog arrive there from a Google search “living only on social security” or similar search term.

How to Ease Into Retirement
Hi Folks,
I debated whether to post this article in this blog or in my other blog, Retirement on a Budget, but as it’s such an insightful little article I just might publish it in both.

(ARA) – Saving more for retirement is always a good idea, especially now. In 2009, the Employee Benefit Research Institute estimated that Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), a cornerstone of retirement savings, sank to a median value of less than $29,000 post-financial meltdown. That leaves many Americans working even harder to recoup their losses and stay on track to make retirement a reality.

LIVING ON SOCIAL SECURITY
Hi Folks,
The following article was published February 16, 2009 in the Dollar Wise blog of the dallasnews.com (The Dallas (Texas) Morning News website). This article is about retirees that are truly living on a budget. I thought you would like to read it.
I imagine that a lot more retirees can relate to the folks in this article today than could a year ago when it was first published. And I imagine that a lot more retirees are living only on social security that don’t want to admit it.
