Planning your retirement – don’t want to know about it. Let Betterment do it instead


Come on people! I have just got out of college and now you want to talk to me about retirement! I have still got a college debt or debts or I have just discharged them and I would like to have a life. But no, you want me to plan that far in advance – for my retirement or whatever. Give me a break, people!

However, in reality that is what it is all about – a series of steps to achieve and reach the next goal in life. People need to budget – for food, electricity, water, gas etc and you allocate your incoming earning(s) to ensure these are met. Similarly you have things you would like to do that you should save for. I myself have a system. Outsource! It works for me. I am told what to do, how to do it. Believe this is the only time in my life that I actually listen to other people and do as I am told.
