Financial Focus: Plan Now for a Secure Retirement
A column by Bob Upton notes 43 percent worry about outliving retirement funds while only 25 percent take action. Social Security caps at 1989 figures of 11040 yearly, with average 6588, so aim for 75 percent of current income adjusted by inflation. Use inflation factors, estimate needs, add pensions and IRAs, and start early with tax shelters, diversified investments, and professional guidance.
