What Are You Doing To Secure Your Retirement?

In today’s economy and the massive downturn in the stock market, many people are becoming more and more concerned about their retirement. Rightfully so, since most of us have seen our 401k balances plummet to unbelievable levels. But what are you doing to secure your retirement? You can take the sit back and wait and see approach, hopefully social security will still be there. You can continue as you were making contributions to a 401k day after day in hopes of a big payoff at retirement age just to see the market crash and lose it all.

I know this is a scary time in the economy and it has made me put things into perspective a little bit more. As most readers know I’ve been dabbleing in making extra income on line as a way to get some extra spending cash for those must have toys, like fishing boats, campers, new grills, and other non essential purchase that my budget just doesn’t allow for currently. I’ve since turned my making extra income into more of an extra retirement fund. I’m happy to say that for the past 6 month’s I have averaged an additional $500 per month by just creating blogs. No this site isn’t included as one of my money making sites as it barely covers its own expenses, it wasn’t designed to make money. This site is my outlet for thoughts, concerns and general gripes about local, state and national topics.

If your unemployed, making less money than you like or are needing extra income to secure your retirement what are you doing about it. I’m not a great writer, computer wiz or some guru marketing guy, but I’ve managed to start generating a decent amount of monthly income from not wasting my time online playing games, chatting with friends and surfing the internet reading useless information. Instead I’ve taken that time to learn how to make extra income [http://wimzit.com/2008/10/24/make-extra-income-for-your-retirement/] in my spare time. I’d like to encourage each and everyone of you that wants to get off welfare, increase your monthly income or save for retirement to do like I have and take the time to do something to better yourself in your spare time.
