Anyway, at "Choose to Save," one might also find out a Ballpark Estimate of whether or not one will likely have the resources to retire by a chosen age, or to remain retired well (without undo financial stress) if already outside the traditional world of work. Hint: it may take more savings than you think. Yet the good news is that, with strategies cited at "Choose to Save," one might find it is easier than expected to set aside and accumulate all that is sought, again, particularly if beginning relatively young. This is not to say we are beyond redemption if the saving habit is acquired later in life. No, for us too, for I had fit into that category, there is still reason for hope.

Other cool, interesting, and/or beneficial links are also accessible at "Choose to Save." Please do yourself a favor, then, and check out this neat site, add it to your favorites, and review its offerings from time to time. Not wanting to overly-hype "Choose to Save," I shall merely say that, for a few and in certain circumstances, it could mean the difference between a comfortable retirement and no retirement at all.
