- The idea of retirement is both exciting and daunting. After
leaving the workforce, you'll have the opportunity to pursue dreams
that you have envisioned for your retirement. But you'll need to
have the financial wherewithal to fund those dreams and cover your
day-to-day living expenses.
It is clear
from everything we read in the news that many Americans likely
aren't saving enough. While many people might rely on Social
Security to help cover their costs during retirement, it may not be
enough and those who want to live a full life in their later years
should focus now on saving more.

of information identity thieves are after. (Click

country we find ourselves at that time of the year when the shifting
from one season to another seems most enjoyable. In many parts of
the country, the lush green foliage gradually fades to an autumn
rainbow of yellow-orange-red-brown. Cool air brings light jackets
out of closets. Pumpkins and decorative corn begin to appear on
porches and doorsteps. (Click
