Doug Ireland, Ireland Financial Partners: Do you feel it is too late to start saving for retirement? It’s never too late and you are not alone. Setbacks can happen from a big career change, divorce, widowed, or just simply not having enough time to worry about personal finances. Some helpful, simple steps you can take now are reviewing your budget, saving even a small amount each month outside of your 401k, and seeking a financial planner to create a financial roadmap to get you on track.
