Good reasons to get started
- Improve Financial Education: This isn't a major focus in public schools or government forums. Lack of information puts stress on consumers trying to make financial decisions.
- Tougher Decisions: These days, people seem to have more decisions to make on matters such as 401(k) Plans, pensions, debt consolidation and home purchases.
- Life Expectancy: Increased longevity compared to past generations creates the need for more retirement savings.
- Technology: Today's consumer has to deal with online loan applications, e-tellers, and electronic securities trading, among other things.
