Sometimes things in life are best summarized by a great cartoon.
The Jan 16 New Yorker has a good one done by Barbara Smaller.
A human resource/finacial planner guy is at his desk. Behind him, on the wall, is a poster labeled 'Your Future' with an image of an hourglass, rapidly draining out. Across from him sits an older guy sitting nervously.
The planner is asking, "Have you given much thought to what kind of job you want after you retire?"
Hmmmm. Not too far from the mark, my boomer pals.
For a number of good reasons we should all be looking to put some financial and personal control in place as we get older. You can always be a greeter at Wal-Mart, but running your own enterprise makes getting out of bed every morning a LOT more interesting.
