How often does one have a "slap in the face" warning before the truth sets in? Not properly saving for resignation has painful long-term consequences happens to be the truth.

In all serious endeavors, good outcomes depend on good planning and good execution. From maintaining physical health to having a decent income, to ensuring you have enough money for retirement, good planning and good execution are the keys. Remember, pro-action is always better than reaction.

The sad truth is most individuals agree in principle that planning and execution is important; most individuals fail to plan and execute for their retirement. The results are these people end up not retiring with enough money to pay their monthly bills and to live a worry-free, decent life in their "golden years". Let's look at the retirement statistics:

What Is a Promissory Note? What Are They Used for?

A promissory note is a written contract between parties-a borrower and a lender– signed by the borrower. It contains an unconditional promise to pay a certain amount of money on demand, or in installment payments over a period of time. It is used in a financing transaction – a lending transaction. The individual who promises to pay is the maker (borrower), and the person to whom payment is promised is called the payee or holder (lender). The loan transaction can be secured or unsecured.

What Promissory Notes Are: Generally, promissory notes are a form of debt simil...

Diversify – Diversification is a powerful investment tool that helps you reduce the risk of holding aggressive investments. Diversifying simply means that you should hold a variety of investments that do not move in tandem in various market environments (for instance bull and bear markets). You do not need 50 different funds in order to diversify. You can diversify with five, at the most 10, mutual funds or ETFs. Keep fees to a minimum – For both mutual funds and exchange traded funds you can look at the 'total expense ratio. "The best case is an expense ratio less than 1%, and certainly no higher than 2%. have to watch out for "sales load". Be aware of your time frame – Match your time frame to the investment. For example, for money that you expect to use within the next year, focus on low-risk investments such as money market funds, certificates of deposit or US government bonds. Ignore the "gurus" – Pay no attention to the fortune-tellers and pro...
