Planning Early Retirement | for Those Not Named Tiger Woods Submitted by Jim Roche NJ

"Flying by the Seat of Your Pants" might have worked just fine while you were employed, but ignorance or mistakes in early retirement planning can cost you dearly. Retiring early, choosing the wrong investments, withdrawing too much money or failing to plan for health-care costs can all turn your golden years to brass.

Although there is no guarentee you'll avoid unpleasant surprises if you plan -- but you can probably tip the odds in your favor. Here's a checklist to get you started. (As you get going, your Retirement Planning can help you make sure the numbers add up.)

10 years out
Think about where you'll live. Demographic surveys show most retirees "age in place," meaning they continue to live in the same house, or at least the same community, as when they retired. But downsizing or moving to a cheaper community can help your retirement assets last longer. Since where you live has a strong impact on your expenses, you'll want to consider your options carefully.

The Sabols, for example, had equity worth more than $225,000 in their New Jersey home. If they sell and move to the Florida condo they own, they could add that equity to the $350,000 already saved in their retirement nestegg. If they stay put for a few years, by contrast, the Sabols would have to keep paying their mortgage and other home expenses -- a difference of $2,000 or more in their monthly costs.

Imagine what you'll do. Some people don't think about how they'll spend their time in retirement until they wake up jobless. That's a bad idea psychologically as well as financially.

Retirees who fare best are generally the ones who have absorbing interests to pursue, said Ralph Warner, the recently retired author of "Get a Life: You Don't Need a Million to Retire Well" (Nolo Press). Those who wait until retirement often find themselves casting about for something to do, and may discover that the hobby or pastime they thought they would love isn't quite so engaging when they can indulge it full-time. As Warner says, "There's only so much golf you can play."

Speaking of golf, your activities in retirement also influence how much money you'll need. If you want to play the finest courses or travel the world, you'll need to save more than if you like to play canasta and visit relatives.

Boost your retirement contributions. If you're not already taking full advantage of your 401(k), IRA and other retirement options, now's the time to increase your contributions. Use MSN Money's Plan for your early retirement planning to see if you're on track, and try your calculations using different life expectancies. Your chances of making it to age 90 or beyond have never been better; many financial planners now use age 95 as their default life expectancy.

Consider paying down your mortgage. If you still have some cash left over after paying off your other debt and maximizing your retirement contributions, think about getting that mortgage retired before you do. Having the house paid off helps many retirees sleep better at night. Not having a mortgage also means you may have to draw less from your retirement accounts, allowing them to grow tax-deferred longer and reducing your overall tax bill.

It is never to early to learn how to retire. Start today check with your employer to see if they offer any early retirement incentive programs. In the next installment I will cover retirement planning with 5 years to go before retirement.

Jim Roche of NJ has created The Early Retirement Planning Forum for you to visit join and post all of your early retirement planning tips as well as provide information and resources for those wanting to retire early, or just what is necessary for you to know how retiring early can become a reality. .

How to Retire Early | Early Retirement Planning | Retiring Early Submitted by Jim Roche NJ

The answers to the following questions could take a while to formulate. But not taking the time to do so comes with dire consequences. Of course, much of what needs to be done in order to retire early requires saving more and making sure there's enough cash to last a lifetime. But a whole host of other factors must be considered. More than likely, it's a case of garbage-in, garbage out. If all you examine is whether you have enough money to retire early, you may get the wrong answer to the "Can I retire early question?"

What are your main goals and concerns relating to retirement?

Who, besides yourself, needs to be taken into account in your planning (a spouse or partner, a dependent child, a dependent parent, a grandchild who lives with you or needs your support, an ex-spouse, other adults living in your home)?

What is the age, sex, smoking status, overall health, citizenship, state of residence, and relationship to you, for each person?

What assets do you own (preferably with lots of details here), and what income do they generate?

What debts do you have? What job(s) do you have now, how long do you expect to have them, and what jobs do you anticipate having in the future?

What other sources of income do you have or anticipate: pensions, annuities, Social Security, alimony, royalties, etc., including future expectations (e.g., an inheritance, the pay-off of a family loan, etc.)? What expenses do you incur, or do you expect to incur, both as a family and as individuals?

What intentions and plans do you have for what happens when you die, or if you become incapacitated?

What kinds of life and health insurance do you have, including long-term care insurance?

This is just a small sample of questions that must be addressed before you decide to retire early.

Retiring early, whether you stay employed or not, however, requires a plan. Not a flip-of-the-coin, Heads; you retire early or Tails; you don't plan. Some 10,000 Americans will turn 60 every day over the next 20 years. Many will celebrate their next birthday asking whether they can walk away from their current job and retire early. For most Americans, the answer is no. Most Americans, according to a number of studies released recently, don't have enough money saved to enjoy the same standard of living in retirement as in their working years.

The odds are that many of these Americans who are contemplating early retirement never crunched the numbers to figure out whether it made sense or not. Many retired Americans seem to make do with what they have and are seemingly happy with what they have.

We as Americans tend to adapt to our current circumstances. Dont just settle or adapt in what is meant to be your Golden Years. Thrive and make those early retirement decisions pay off for you and become the most enjoyable ones of your life. For More Information About Early Retirement Planning

Low Cost Splash Page Promotion Submitted by Jim Roche NJ

Is a brand new concept in Splash page promotion. By using this simple little script it will put YOU in control of the site promotion that your members do.

Have you had members promoting a splash page that is no longer valid?
or
Had members promoting special offer splash pages long after the promotion has ended?

Far worse is for you to have had a special offer splash page made and then most of your members have not even set it up?

NO MORE!

Imagine Having a low cost splash page promotion tool that allows you to control which of your splash pages is being circulated by all your members and will automatically change it after a predetermined number of days of your choice.

Splash pages need to be changed at regular intervals to prevent people getting familiarity blindness. Familiarity blindness is when you have seen the same thing so many times that you don't notice it anymore, and this happens very rapidly on traffic exchanges.

So, what do you do with that splash page that is not getting click through's any longer? You cant dump it because that may cause dead links for your members that are trying to promote your site for you. But if you could take it out of circulation for a month or so then use it again, those click through's will return. The problem is, to get all your members to do it at the same time is nearly impossible.

That is until NOW.

The Low Cost Splash Page Promotion Tool will do it for you seamlessly.

It has been proven by testing over many months that after using a splash page continueously, the click through rate falls off dramatically. However By taking a Splash Page out of circulation for a while and then using it again the click rate goes back to an acceptable level. Thus giving it a new lease on life.

The Low Cost Splash Page Promotion Tool also allows you to set up Special Offer Splash Pages and Guarantee's that your members will get them shown for you.

All you need to do is set up your Special Splash Page and set a start date and an end date. The start and end dates can be anything from 1 day to months ahead of the day you set it up. The Splash Page Promotion Tool will then make sure that it starts showing on the start date and will stop showing on the end date totally automatically.

You give your members just one link to use for your splash page promotion, and the low cost splash page promotion tool does the rest. This solves the problem of members having to change all their links in the numerous Traffic Exchanges they belong to. It also ensures that Special Promotions are shown only for the period that you pre- set.

My Online MLM Business | Veretekk | Jim Roche NJ Submitted by Jim Roche NJ

There are so many Online MLM Business companies out there these days but the number one question still remains, which one is the best? There is no right answer. First, you have to ask yourself, what are you looking to achieve? What are your goals? There's alot of things you should pour over when selecting which one is best for you. Here are three of the biggest:

1. Does the company have long term success. What's in it for you?

Does the company have a long term presence? You should look into one that has been around for at least 3 years. By joining an already established company or one that actually promises a real future, you will be more likely to have long term success. Don't join some fly by night organization. Do a Google search for Online MLM Business company and gather information, even call or email others already involved and ask questions.

2. What products or services will you be offering? What's in it for you?

It will be quite difficult to introduce new members into your Online MLM Business if there is no real tangible product or service being sold. If it's seen as a money making scheme it won't succeed and people won't buy into it. People need to be able to sink their teeth into something of value. They, like you will be asking "What's in it for me?" Keep in mind the economy, people can't afford high priced lotions, potions or pills right now. They are trying to save money not throw it away. Is there an autoship? Will your garage be stock pilled with product people can't afford to purchase? Let's hope not.

3. How will you get paid? What's in it for you?

You need to look at the compensation plan and make sure that you are comfortable with how company pays out their commissions. Some Online MLM Business companies pay weekly, some pay monthly. (I prefer weekly!) Make sure you are OK with how you are compensated and also that you are bringing in as much as possible in commissions. Even though the "worker bees" are doing the marketing and sales aspect of it, most MLM companies can't and won't pay out every penny to the "hive". (It's rare but just for the record, I have had 100% commissions month in my business opportunity.)

Now, even if all your ducks are in a row it still doesn't mean you are going to see success in your venture over night. There is no such thing as immediate success in this industry, you need to actually do the work and put in some real effort into building your organization. "Earn your stripes" as they say. Steer clear of anyone telling you that "it's easy", "make $15,000 in a week" It just won't happen, not right away. It's now up to you to do your homework, choose a company and build your network.

Last but not least, you are going to want to check into a fantastic marketing system. It's extremely important for whatever network marketing company you choose. This system will allow you attract new members that you can present your business to on a daily basis. If you need marketing tools I can recommend Veretekk Online Marketing System. Jim Roche NJ can help you with an established online Online MLM Business (one you can sink your teeth into) and the tools needed to help grow your business.
