In a recent survey conducted by Employee Benefit Plans Research, 76% of workers age 55 and over have less than $250,000 in savings and investments which include their IRA. Less than 40% of U.S. households in 2006 even have an IRA, and less than 1 % know they can self-direct their IRA with investments that expand beyond the traditional stocks, bonds and mutual funds. Think gold, oil, gas and even “green investments”!

With longer life expectancies and rising health care costs, more than half of U.S. households will be financially unprepared for retirement. This is scary! Don’t let this be you! Open up your IRA plan today! www.theentrustgroup.com
