Default Use taxes to Buy bonds for Retirement

You can now as of 2010 can use direct deposit in order to use your tax refund to purchase U.S. Series I Savings Bonds.

This is one way that the government is trying to help us to save for our retirement.You do not have to use it all on the bonds either you can split the funds up into three different accounts to be put into.

I guess this is a good thing,you will have to read it for yourself and see what you think.

Default Re: Use taxes to Buy bonds for Retirement

This is a great idea, because anymore you have to begin worrying about retirement around the age of ten. Its sad but that is the way things seem to be going.

I didn't take advantage of this opportunity this year though if possible this is something that I will be doing next year. When the time comes for me to retire I want to make sure that I can live comfortably and not have to figure out ways to stretch one dollar into five.

This is a good thing, the other reply is right you do have to start worrying about retirement at a very young age, alot younger then you use to, but it is never to late to start to save.
