Spring into retirement planning with MSRP

Did you know that most Americans spend less time planning for retirement than planning a vacation or researching a new, big screen TV? 

This is a leap year.  You already had an extra day on February 29th, so how about you spend just a little time focusing on retirement planning—regardless of your age.  The sooner the better.
