Retirement Calculators For Those That Can't Spell

Got a kick out of this little ditty over at Lazerloan.com. Do you think he spelled retirement wrong on purpose. Retirment. Who knows…might work for them. Hmmm.


Retirment calculators are a very popular piece of scripting online. Millions of Americans are using these online calculators to figure out what they’ll have left in the bank when they’re approaching the golden years.  


Loanallot.com has made their opinion crystal clear as to what retirement calculator they recommend. Here is their snippet below. (I get a kick out
of their web site theme……Lancelot/Loanallot…..now that is CHEESE my friends.


I did a little research on retirement calculators, and I have to give the edge to this retirement calculator in particular. This is the CNN retirement calculator.


Here are the instructions they give for using their calculator:


“Our retirement planner helps you estimate how well your savings program is preparing you for retirement. First we help you figure out how much you'll need. Then we tell you your chances of getting there. And if it looks like you'll fall short, we offer some suggestions for improving your plan.” 


Have fun playing with that for awhile. I learned one thing for sure, and that’s that I need to start saving some money in better places if I hope to retire with a pot to piss in.
