Each year the BIG
question seems to be: Will there be enough money to live when retirement
comes around?
According to some personal finance commentators,
lots of people are going to find it a stretch, to make ends meet
when they retire. So what's the real answer! Is it, as some suggest,
That you'll need between 60% to 80% of your current gross income
per year in retirement? How to figure it out comes next!
 The
first thing to look at is how much you're currently saving, and
what's its growth potential. Add to that, the projected future income
benefits from the government or/and your private pension plan. They'll
provide solid numbers towards your financial projections. To help
you gather all the information together, we offer you free
use of the Pension
Puzzle calculator. This online gizmo is a result of our
collaboration with Bruce Cohen, the primary author of the standard
setting publication of the same name. (Click
