Ready for retirement? It's never too early (or late) to start planning. And now there's a new online Retirement Planning Center to help working families plan for their future. Visit the new Web site at UnionPlusRetirement.org.
http://www.unionvoice.org/ct/VdaNzoM19cmA/The Retirement Planning Center includes:
* The top 3 questions working families have asked about retirement -- with answers!
* An easy-to-use "Retirement Road Map" tool, which asks a series of 18 questions and provides a custom "to do" list for you.
* Savings and planning calculators -- including one that helps future retirees figure out how much money they will need to save to reach their financial goals.
* Clear information on pensions, Social Security, IRAs and more -- cutting through the confusion and focusing on the issues you need to consider.
The site also links to official government sites, union retirement Web sites, and the AFL-CIO and Alliance for Retired American Web sites where users can take action to protect their retirement security.
