We all know how important it is to "plan for retirement."  Unfortunately planning alone won't do any good.  Those of us with 20-30 or more years of work ahead of us need to work the plan to get the results we want.

Each year when I begin preparing my tax information I do a thorough review and assess how my plan is coming along.  This past year has been fairly good...previous years not always so.

Our friends in the federal government have some tips on retirement planning.  Heck, you and I have paid for this "free" advice by way of our federal income taxes so we might as well take advantage of it. 

While I was surfing the web I found great information just for Seniors at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) web page.  Check out the recent article entitled FDIC Financial Education for Senior Citizens at FDIC: Money Smart News.  They even have a special packet available that includes tips on how to make your money last!  

In addition, the Federal Citizen Information Center (FCIC) provides many FREE publications.  Check out some terrific information specifically for Seniors at their website FCIC.  Articles includes articles such as: Senior Savvy Health Kit, Financial Fitness for Older Americans, and much more.

So, how is your plan coming along?  Are you working your retirement plan?
