Retire in A Weekend Author Bill Losey Discusses Best Ways To Save For Retirement

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Dec. 11, 2013 - PRLog -- Bill Losey, Retirement Intelligence publisherand Retirement Advisor, recently published a blog laying out several retirement saving principles to keep in mind, whether you start early in life or later. The blog found on his website http://www.BillLosey.com, is titled “The Best Ways To Save For Retirement”.

In the blog, Bill discusses how starting later in life means you must save much more to realize an income that will be sufficient in your retirement years. Bill writes, “When you have 15 or 20 years until your envisioned retirement instead of 30 or 40, you’ve got to sock away money for retirement in comparatively greater proportions. The good news is that you won’t be retiring strictly on those contributions; in large part, you will be retiring on the earnings generated by that pool of invested assets.”

More often than not, Bill explains that saving now for retirement may be easier than you think, but could require certain lifestyle sacrifices now in order to reach your goals. “One helpful step is to reduce some of the lifestyle costs you incur: cable TV, lease payments, and so forth,” writes Bill. “Reducing debt helps: every reduced credit card balance or paid-off loan frees up more cash. Selling things helps – a car, a boat, a house, collectibles. Whatever money they generate for you can be assigned to your retirement savings effort.”

In the blog, Bill also touches on the importance of consistency over yield as well as what you can do if you have amassed a large nest egg but still fall short.
