Well, not anytime soon but one day my wife and I will both be retired. And with the year-end approaching it’s time to think about what we can do to help ensure that we’ll retire. So far we’ve been contributing to our 401k and 403b plans respectively and we both have pension plans where we work. We’ve also been really good at saving automatically to our ING DIRECTHow will we do it? $8000 comes out to about $154 a week (weekly contributions will be a good way to take advantage of dollar cost averaging). We’ll re-work our automatic savings account contributions so that we have the money freed up to contribute to our Roth IRA accounts (that will be about $77/week for each of us). There will be less going to savings but we’ll still have enough to keep our savings growing.
