Is Retirement Possible?
It's never too early -or too late- to start saving for retirement.
If you are just starting out, focus on saving as much as you can now.
If you are nearing retirement, consider increasing contributions to your savings or delaying Social Security.
Be frugal, not wasteful. Use the perishables you purchased before they rot. Re-purpose glass jars for left overs. Make cleaning rags out of old t-shirts. You get the drift.
Is it a bird...
Is it a plane...
No, it's Super Samaniego!
