I looked at the other suggestions. ... ( more)

Sometimes people feel like it’s too late to fund retirement — like they’ve missed the retirement boat and so they may as well not bother at this point. But there’s an old saying that goes, “The best time to plant an oak tree was twenty years ago. The second best time is now.”
