Retirement Planning and Saving
The U.S. personal savings rate has declined over the past quarter century and now sits at a historically low level. Individuals and families need positive inducements to reverse the trend from a consumption-orientation to a savings-orientation, especially as America is preparing for the largest number and percentage of retirees in our history. Numerous new policies and changes to tax law have been devised to encourage Americans to increase both short and long-term savings. However, these changes often are confusing to the general public. Through clear, simple and motivational materials, Cooperative Extension seeks to encourage a culture of saving and retirement preparation in Georgia.Related Links
