5. Why People Fail . . . And What You Can Do
! “I’ll
Start
tomorrow.
Anyway,
I
don’t
have
money
to
save
right
now.”
— The
key
to
financial
freedom
is
oUen
not
how
much
you
earn,
but
how
much
you
keep.
! “I
can’t
look
that
far
ahead”
— If
you
fail
to
plan,
you
are
planning
to
fail.
! 24%
of
Americans
are
postponing
re@rement
at
least
a
year
! 43%
of
Americans
have
less
than
$10,000
saved
for
re@rement
! 36%
save
nothing
! It
is
unlikely
the
government
safety
net
of
social
security,
and
medicare
will
meet
your
needs
or
even
be
available
when
you
re@re.
! “I
was
never
very
good
at
understanding
money.”
— Just
as
you
learned
how
to
earn
money,
you
can
learn
how
to
manage
it
to
your
benefit.
! “If
I
am
lucky,
I
won’t
have
to
think
about
my
financial
future.”
— Don’t
gamble
on
your
future,
taking
even
small
consistent
steps
toward
financial
freedom
helps
get
to
your
goals.
