Retirement Readiness 

Are you ready to retire and ride off into the sunset?

If the answer is no, then you might not be taking advantage of the various retirement plans being made available to Americans.

According to Prudential, only 74 percent of African-Americans contribute to employer-sponsored retirement plans, as opposed to 85 percent of their White counterparts.  The average "young couple" has less than $5,000 saved in a retirement plan.
