Your retirement could be years away, so why worry now?

That’s a mistake many people make. The secret to a secure retirement is to save for it throughout your working years. Slow and steady wins the race.

Others have the idea that their “ship will come in,” be it a killing in the stock market, an inheritance, or landing their big-income dream job. But none of these is sure to win.

What WILL work?

Protect the investment you have in your home by not tapping home equity. When you retire, you could sell the house, move to a smaller place, and still have money in the bank.

Spend less. If you are in midlife and haven’t saved much, it’s time to get serious about cutting back. This could mean moving to a less expensive place and skipping expensive vacations.
 
Guard your 401(k). Never cash it in when you change jobs. Increase your contributions by 2 percent each year. 

Save more. Automatic payroll deduction is the most successful way say financial planners. You can live comfortably on less.

Plan your finances. A financial planner can help with an outline of your income and what you should be doing with it. 

Get rid of credit card debt. The percentage of seniors with high credit card debt is rising. Get into the habit of charging only what you can pay for each month. Or stop charging until your old balances are paid. 

Work longer. If you are in good health at retirement time, working an extra two years can make a big difference. Many people are still strong at age 65. 

If you live to be 90, which is not uncommon, you’ll still have more than 20 years to relax and take it easy.
