INDUSTRY-STUDIES NOW SHOW THAT LESS THAN HALF OF ALL AMERICAN-WORKERS HAVE TAKEN THE TIME TO CALCULATE EXACTLY HOW MUCH MONEY THEY'LL NEED TO RETIRE COMFORTABLY. SOME COMPANIES--LIKE STATE FARM--ARE NOW DEVELOPING TOOLS THAT HELP MAKE THE PROCESS EASIER. THAT'S BECAUSE PLANNING FOR RETIREMENT IS SOMETHING THAT MOST PEOPLE JUST DON'T CARE TO DO; THEY OFTEN DON'T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN. HOWEVER, IT MAY BE EASIER THAN YOU THINK. HERE ARE THREE EASY STEPS, TO JUMPSTART THE PROCESS: FIRST, START THE CONVERSATION WITH LOVED-ONES; USING AN ONLINE TOOL--LIKE STATE FARM'S "RETIREMENT ILLUSTRATED"--CAN BREAK THE ICE, AND HELP YOU GET STARTED. NEXT, WORK WITH A RESPECTED FINANCIAL-PROFESSIONAL WHO MAY HAVE A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF ALL OF THE OPTIONS THAT ARE AVAILABLE. FINALLY, PUT YOUR PLAN IN WRITING--AND COMMIT TO IT; HAVING A PLAN HELPS YOU GET A CLEARER IDEA OF WHAT YOU'LL NEED LATER IN LIFE--AND ENABLES YOU TO SET ATTAINABLE GOALS, TRACK PROGRESS, AND ADJUST THE PLAN, IF NECESSARY. TO LEARN MORE, VISIT "STATE-FARM"-DOT-COM.
