I was looking around the Internet trying to find a good article to use for my daily blog when I came across this article. It talks about ways to avoid risk when planning for retirement. I thought this would be a good article due to the fact that its not simply just a list of ways to retire but things to avoid doing when starting to plan for your retirement. With the economy the way it is right now it is important to know the right and wrong way to plan for your retirement that way when it comes time for your to retire they will be able to sit back and relax and enjoy retirement.

By having a plan to secure a comfortable retirement and making the right financial choices, you can help ensure your retirement income lasts.
