Start Planning/Saving Early for Retirement

CNBC has a good interview on planning and saving for retirement.  As one of the commenters says, our failure in this country is not making money management education part of primary education.  We spend a lot of resources preparing our children to earn as much money as possible, but nothing on how to manage that money when they do earn it.  Therefore, many fail to save, invest, avoid debt and plan for big life events.
