Where can you find great tips for re-entering
the work force after you retire? You can try a retirement job board.
With most companies getting rid of their pension
programs and Social Security being underfunded,
more and more people are finding themselves stuck. The investments they've
made haven't worked out for them as well as they had hoped. The cost of living
is rising.
You'll read a lot about this issue on a retirement
job board. You'll read about how frustrated the people who are being forced
to go back to work are.
On a retirement job board, you'll also read
about why they are frustrated. For some it's because they didn't get the right
investment advice. Others didn't start saving and investing soon enough.
Other posters on the retirement job
board are upset for different reasons. They've been turned down for positions
because hiring a younger, less qualified applicant costs the company less. They
are upset because they are being interviewed by prospective employers who
are the same age as their children - or in some cases, their grandchildren.
Not only are they upset, they are often embarrassed.
They talk on the retirement job board about what they wish they had done or
known before they retired.
What do they wish they had known? Sometimes
they wish they'd been able to do more to project how their investments would
perform. Sometimes it's that there were better investment strategies than
the one they'd chosen. Still, other times they wish they had known more about
their savings and how withdrawals to it would affect them down the road.
When you listen to the
financial analysts - including Ray Martin of CBS News - you'll hear that in order to plan wisely
for your retirement you need to understand your investments. You need to understand
how they have performed over time. You'll need to understand how they will
perform in the future.
More than that, you'll need to understand
how small changes to your investment strategy can help you reach your financial
goals faster and more efficiently.
You'll also hear, when you listen to financial
analysts, about tools that you can use to ensure that you're getting accurate
