Admit it. You’ve thought about your retirement plan - right? So what’s the number you came up with to live comfortably? You may need to consider a home based business….
Chances are you said something much larger than $25,000 I bet. But did you know that according to the Employee Benefit Research Institute 60% of current retirees have less than $25,000 in savings and investments?
Excuse me!? But, how do they do it? Sure, they may be receiving Social Security and Medicare benefits, but can you imagine going into your Golden years "unprepared" ? How do you travel, treat the grandkids, and explore your hobbies, not to mention potential health related issues?

I call this "ID Syndrome " - the disease of Internal Distraction . And unless you learn how to defeat this affliction, you won’t get anywhere at work or in life.
We all have personal thoughts like these while we are working.
