Close your eyes for a moment and imagine your dream retirement. Picture where you are, who you're with, what you're doing, and how you feel. Take a deep breath and really let the visualization sink in and transport you to this alternate reality. Now open your eyes and ask yourself: Do you think you'll ever get to personally experience this vision of your dream retirement at any point in your life? If you answered no, you're not alone! Nearly 40 million working age households in the U.S. have no retirement savings, and a whopping 78% of Americans say they're either "extremely" or "somewhat" concerned about not having enough money for retirement. You probably already know that you need to be saving for retirement, but where do you even begin? From the alphabet soup of retirement accounts like 401(k)s, IRAs, 457s, and the like, to the confusing array of fund options with cryptic-sounding names and enormous hidden fees, knowing where to start is no easy task. And chances are you never learned this stuff in school, either--despite the fact that it has a greater impact on your happiness and quality of life than almost any other subject you can think of. Fortunately, building a nest egg to fund your dream retirement is easier than you think.
