If the recession has taught us anything, it’s the benefit of saving money. Whether you’re looking to build emergency cash reserves, saving for a down payment on a house or accruing a nest egg that will see you through retirement, there are a myriad of options available.

The information I’m sending this month delves into the savings options that are available to meet a variety of needs.

Page two outlines the pros and cons of the most common retirement plans.

Since saving money is a topic that interests many people, feel free to share this pertinent information with your family or friends.
