IPT and Kiplinger's Washington Editors have developed and individualized a set of four retirement action guides for Alabama as part of the When I'm 65 program (www.wi65.org) to help people ages 25-70+ and at various life stages prepare for a financially secure retirement. The free action guides are part of the When I'm 65 community engagement program.

	"Starting to Save for Retirement" is for adults ages 15-40 who are just starting their careers and/or who are approaching their prime earning years.  They either have not started to save or are just now starting to save for their retirement.		"Ramp Up Savings for Your Retirement" is for adults ages 40-55 at the midpint of their career who are looking to accelerate their retirement savings, maximize earnings or obtain professional advice while in their prime earning years.
	"Getting Closer to Retirement" is for adults ages 55-70 who are approaching retirement age and looking to boost the longevity of their nest egg, determine their guaranteed retirement income and preserve their savings.		"Making Your Money Last in Retirement" is for adults ages 70+ who are retired or working and looking to manage their finances and ensure their money goes the distance.

The retirement landscape is changing. When I'm 65 is a guide to help navigate it, no matter what your picture of retirement may be. When I'm 65 offers free videos and toolkits for every age group from high school students to senior citizens. INVESTOR EDUCATION BROCHURES by Editors of Kiplinger's Personal Finance Magazine
