What impact will your personal retirement planning have on your immediate family? Right now I am the only one of my sibling who was money set aside for their retirement. So my sibling constantly joke that I am going to have to take care of them when we are older.

What impact will your personal retirement planning have on society? I feel like my personal retirement plan will have a positive effect on society. This is because I am not relying on government assistance. My retirement will be paid for by me.
What impact would there be on the economy if every American had and implemented a retirement plan? I think that it would have positive effect on the economy. If everyone in America had and implemented a retirement plan we would not need government assistant programs like Social Security. But you have to be educated and knowledgeable about your money and ways you can save
