The author reflects on starting retirement planning as early as possible in order to increase the likelihood of reaching or even exceeding the retirement savings goals. Procrastination from saving for retirement can lead to huge debt, stress and isolation, threat of homelessness and unhealthy dependence on others. To build a foundation of resources for future African American generations, the author suggested investing in 401(k) accounts and acquiring stocks, bonds and other investments.
