10 Signs You’ll Need Your Children’s Help In Retirement
Americans are doing a pitifully poor job of saving for retirement. A recent GOBankingRates survey found that about one-third of people have nothing tucked away for their golden years. That should make them worried — and it should also give their children pause.

The 10 Best Dividend Funds to Buy Now
The best dividend funds on the market all share one thing in common: They’re not one-size-fits-all.
Wall Street boasts quite literally hundreds of dividend mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and that spans a number of styles, geographies, costs and share classes. Are you interested in international dividend growth, or do you want to lasso as much nominal yield as possible out of American companies? Those angles (and far more) are covered in spades.
Combine that with all the variables investors have to consider — risk tolerance, investing time horizon, even 401k availability — and you have a situation in which one investor’s trash may well be another investor’s treasure.
Of course, I wouldn’t call any of the dividend funds we’re looking at today “trash.”

Some boomers are fortunate to have a job with a pension. Those without that guaranteed source of income or any savings will be forced to survive on Social Security benefits or the support of their children. In some cases, baby boomers simply might not be able to retire at all.
If those scenarios don’t seem appealing to you, follow these expert tips to catch up on retirement savings.
