Life isn't static. The world around us changes, we grow and evolve, and our needs vary depending on a range of circumstances. So whether it's a 401K, an IRA, annuities or all of the above, your plan for the future shouldn't be set in stone. Review your assets, monitor progress and make adjustments regularly to ensure your plan for tomorrow accurately reflects the position you are in today. The May 2008 issue of Real Simple® magazine got you started on this endeavor with a useful retirement accounts directory and an at-a-glance table for tracking your savings. If you missed the feature, download another copy here for your Manage Your Money, Manage Your Life binder. You can also check out the additional online tools we've put together to help you take charge of your retirement.
