SOME STARTLING FINANCIAL STATISTICS
By Jan on Jan 31, 2009 in Financial Matters
We have been lulled into thinking that we understand our investments and we have been living with a false sense of security. The Congressional Budget Office has stated that as of October 07, 2008 retirement plans have lost as much as $2 trillion over 15 months. Some of them have lost in excess of 20% of their value.
This has many workers wondering how they are going to be able to retire. They thought they were going to be set for life when they retired, but now they wonder how they are going to be able to afford to retire at all. They are realizing that in actual fact, they knew next to nothing about being an investor.
We are headed for a major economical disaster, but we still have time to take corrective action. It’s not too late to get a handle on your finances and make some intelligent decisions.
