Have you provided for when you retire?

The date I can retire is looming and I think I should have thought about looking after me more when I was young. Somehow there was never money to save to a retirement. Now I am wishing I had done so. I am sure I will get by and I can write whatever age I am, but I wish I had taken out some policies or paid into a good pension. How about you? Are you saving for retirement or procastinating?

I can't say that I'm really prepared for retirement. I would like to start save money for retirement, but it's tricky right now. One good thing is that I am still young, but I know I should still preparing for it now.

I think if there is one bit of advice I would give any young person is to save early. If I had my time again, I would have made it a priority.

@Jackalyn That is definitely good advice. It's something that I definitely want to do.

No, haven't saved a cent, using all on my money on horses and travelling. However, as long as I don't buy a a more expensieve flat I should have paid all of that plus the student loan in about 10-12 years and I'm not going to retire for at least 25 so I do have some time to plan.

Bank deposits that generate interest is a sound way to retire.

I was in the same pickle when I retired. I didn't have employment that allowed savings. It was all hand to mouth. Nothing left over at the end of the month. I'm getting by, but it's not easy. It's good you can write and make an income that way.

@just4him I know He provides and I also know when offered the chance to be the next Joyce Meyer, (Yes, really!) I turned it down as the offer was not from a Christian source. I have great expectations but kinda hope some of them might happen here if the Lord tarries!

I will have a pension in addition to social security. I also have a private retirement account set up and money from every paycheck goes into it.

We have some savings but sometimes you think you're okay but then they move the goal-posts and you're back to square one. It can be tricky to know what's best.
