In this last article on how to plan for our retirement, our advice is "Stop panicking"! Once you have your numbers calculated you can begin planning, allocating and investing your money. Annuities and portfolio management are great ways to get your hands wet with investing for the long term. If you’re behind in planning your near-future retirement, don’t panic! There are several easy ways to adapt: scale back, stay in part-time work, move somewhere much cheaper, and delay retirement as long as possible - it gives you longer to save, gives your savings longer to grow, reduces the length of time you will need to live off your savings, and boosts your Social Security income.
