Want to retire rich?

My best advice is it's NEVER too early to start saving! Forget about waiting till you graduate college and get a good job (good luck in this market!) and make enough $$$ so that you can actually afford to participate in whatever paltry retirement plan is available. Unless you want to live out your elder years living naked under a bridge, you better start saving up when you're about six or so. No joke. All that money you get for your birthday, Christmas, doing chores or whatever, save it for Pete's sake!! No excuses. After all, you are hardly paying the electric bill or buying groceries when you're not even old enough to drive.

Now that I've determined I will never be able to afford retirement, I have to decide if I want to work till I'm 92 (the average age at which the women in my family tend to live to) or just jump off a bridge tomorrow, LOL. I've always said I'm always the brokest the day before payday. Must go cut out some coupons now so I can buy groceries this week.

Now go save some money!!
