Met life recently issued a 28 page report quantifying where Americans stand in terms of their preparation for retirement. They developed a readiness index that measures 15 tasks to prepare you for your retirement. This week I am going to cover off some of the areas in the questionnaire. We use this questionaire to benchmark where clients stand on each task and identify areas they need to work on.
