Links about making sure you can fund your retirement

Here are some great links to help all of us continue on with thinking and talking about how to fund our retirements.

The Power of Saying "No" to Preserve Your Retirement Bucksome Boomer post really makes a great point about not sacrificing your own retirement to pay for adult children's (or siblings) wants and needs now.

I also hope you will check out this great post at Satisfying Retirement - How to Mess up a Retirement
