I was always taught the value of money, and the value of making money from money, and I’m glad I was. I recently got a letter from my union telling me to safegaurd against pension taxes (in the UK) for when my pension pot is over £1.5 million. I’m not even qualified yet!

Yes, I thought a money tree illustration would be a good addition. Neil, we can all use some extra branches on that money tree. I totally agree, Nancy. If one cares about himself/herself or his/her family, he/she should definitely be thinking about retirement and/or death. I am still rather young and I already have life insurance and a retirement fund I am constantly adding to. It is never too early to be thinking about retirement, but time always comes ever so slightly closer to “too late”. I thought it would be nice to cover retirement investing, especially one that cannot be ravished by the economy. Thanks for the feedback.

I agree Nancy, I started at a young age learning about saving and the importance of money. While some of my peers may disagree, I actually find saving money for retirement a rewarding endeavor.

I believe planning for retirement and death is very important, which is why I also run an insurance site that provides information to buyers. I think too many people underestimate the importance of annuities and insurance.
