Seed of Savings: The (Oregon) Trail to Retirement

If you were a kid in the late 1980 ‘s and early 1990 ‘s, you most likely played the low-quality and tragically brutal game, ‘The Oregon Trail. ‘ Dangerous conditions left members of your party with snakebites, cholera and dysentery. Crossing a stream tipped over your entire wagon and drowned all your Oxen. Successfully completing the game seemed impossible.

Those of us who played this game as kids are now in the workforce as adults, and to many of us, retirement feels just as unreachable. But if a pioneer like William Fromm can conquer the treacherous Oregon Trail making a living off dung, and ‘invent ‘retirement, you can start saving for yours. Learn about the importance of saving for retirement and how OregonSaves can help.
