Planning Your Retirement: Part II

In this video, Ben Stein explains the value of Index Funds.

In case you don't know, an Index Fund is almost like investing in the entire stock market or ... at least part of the stock market. The idea is that if you spread your money out overall several stocks, you will reduce the risk. Inevitably, some stocks will fail and some will succeed. So, instead of trying to throw darts at a board and pick stocks by yourself, you're essentially investing in the entire market. So, if the market has a good year and goes up by a certain percentage, your portfolio will most likely grow at the same rate.

However, if stocks and bonds really isn't your thing, don't worry. Real Estate almost always appreciates at a constant rate as well and can be a great investment opportunity. Visit Ottawa Moves for some great information on how to get started with your next Real Estate sale or purchase.

Planning Your Retirement: Getting Started

You either like Ben Stein or you don't. Either way, he has a very important and potent message. The sooner you begin thinking about your retirement, the better. Yes, it can be a headache at times ... but it can be fun too.

Studies are showing that we are living longer and longer, giving us more time to do things we want to do. In fact, you can start to plan a whole other career after you retire. Imagine that, working on the things you enjoy as opposed to the things you have to do.

As Mr. Stein said, the best way is to start by consulting a Financial Planner. Make sure to do a thorough background check before selecting a Financial Planner but then, work with that person to create your retirement plan. It will give you peace of mind knowing that you are taking steps for that pivotal time in your life.
