Facts on the Retirement Crisis

According to a survey done by the Bankrate survey team from Early February to March, one in five American adults has nothing saved for retirement or emergencies.

A further 20 percent have saved away only 5 percent or less of their annual income to meet specific financial goals. Less than a third of Americans have saved at least 11 percent or more.

The survey also stated that this generation of boomers is in worst financial shape than the previous generations.

And even with all the good economic news and unemployment is now 50 years low, and wage gains were at an all-time high, there were few savings.

The answer was they had too many expenses, so there was nothing left for saving, and some said they had not thought of saving.

And some said their job was not paying enough to meet their needs, and there was nothing left to save.

In a case like this (job not paying enough), I recommend getting an extra job or working for yourself; you can start your own online business for free HERE.

Deb affects us all and hinders us from retiring on time; some must keep working long after retirement age to live a good life.

Boomers are still paying student loans.

I found this part of the survey shocking: people in their 50s and 60s still have to pay student debt.

Those over 50 owed more than $260 billion last year, up dramatically from $46 billion in 2006.

In the survey, many people over 50 said they haven’t adequately prepared for retirement and are at a loss for where to start.

Not A Get Rich Quick Business

I must tell you that online marketing is not a way to get a lot of money in a short space of time business; it requires effort, hard work, determination, and patience.

I saw a quote in a blog, and I liked it so much I have adopted it as mine; it said entrepreneurship is living a few years of your life as most people won’t, so you can spend the rest of your life like most people can’t that, in a nutshell, is affiliate marketing.   

The more you put in, the greater your success; building your audience and gaining trust takes time, but it will be worth it in the end.

You can avoid any financial crisis on the horizon by starting your own business now. Even if you are in a situation now, you can earn your way out of it by being an entrepreneur; online marketing means offering anything online.

With a website, you can have several income streams and different businesses, and with a premium membership at Wealthy Affiliate, you will get ten websites.
