One Sure Way to Turbocharge an IRA
About 4.2 million Americans will turn 65 this year. While not all of them will retire right away, they're getting close. And yet, Americans don't appear to feel optimistic about their financial readiness. A recent Gallup poll showed that only 45% expect to be financially comfortable in retirement.
If you're one of the majority who wonder if you'll be ready, it may be time to try a hack or two.
Let's look at those 4.2 million Americans who will turn 65 this year. They were born in 1960, the year John F. Kennedy was elected president, the Civil Rights Act was signed, and U.S. military advisors first arrived in Vietnam. If you're young, that may seem like ancient history, and yet to those of us born around that time, it sometimes feels like yesterday.
