Some retirement plans offer a membership for free - check with your company. If not, it's way worth it. There's no blanket advice. Basically you plug in every bit of data you have and it runs an analysis on your portfolio and then makes suggestions based on your beta of where to go next. It's nice because it allows you to see under various scenerios how much you'll have to spend in retirement. You can play with your savings amounts and see how realistic your savings plan is. What the cost is it's peanuts (unless you're an extremely sophisticated investor) compared to what it'll make you. It will also make you feel better about saving - I'm always amazed at the power of compound interest. For example, for every $500k you save for 5 years at 5% you'll make $250k! Slow and steady wins the race. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Silver Sponsor - New Atlanta http://www.newatlanta.com Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:138628 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
