Most people have no idea where to start planning for retirement.  Even with the dire warnings about the demise of Social Security, many people have saved virtually nothing for retirement.  A recent article at http://www.investopedia.com/articles/personal-finance/111214/inflation-and-your-retirement.asp discusses how individuals can take charge of their retirement by becoming better educated about saving, investing and building wealth, which is difficult for many people.  For one thing, many people do not understand the difference between growth market and cash flow market investing.  In growth market investing, those seeking an investment choose vehicles that seem destined to grow quickly, even if they are expensive.  With cash flow investing, the investor uses the cash he or she earns to invest in opportunities as they arise.

Experts are concerned that the average American is unprepared for retirement.  New statistics at http://blogs.marketwatch.com/capitolreport/2014/08/07/many-americans-are-not-prepared-for-retirement-fed-survey/ show that about one-third of non-retired workers have no retirement savings at all, including 20% of those age 55 to 64.  At least one-quarter of all Americans have done no retirement planning and the 25% who have say they do not have enough to pay for their retirement expenses.  In short, a large percentage of Americans will be relying on Social Security or other forms of payment to finance their retirement, and these payments may be in danger of disappearing, leaving these potential retirees with nothing.

Most Americans today have a consumer mindset rather than an investor mindset.  In an article at http://psychcentral.com/news/2014/10/15/emotional-mindset-can-impact-consumer-decisions/76172.html , experts state that a consumer mindset can be affected by guilt, shame and fear.  Many people are frightened by the instability of the economy and refuse to invest, hoping that with hard work they will eventually accumulate wealth.  However, with an investor mindset, people can take control of their finances and make their money work for them.  Teresa R. Martin, a personal finance and money management expert, offers insight for average Americans who want to change their investment dynamic through her powerful two-day workshop, the Rental Real Estate & Wealth Generation Summit, to be held on December 13-14 in New York City.

Michael Egleton's new hit single, "It's Over," was released at a propitious time, although the subject matter is very difficult to discuss.  The song focuses on domestic abuse at a time when the rates of this "silent epidemic" are skyrocketing.  Even celebrities are not immune, as evidenced by the recent media focus on domestic abuse violence arrests among NFL players.
