There's a point in life where it's no longer possible to shrug off retirement planning as something we can look forward to in the future.
Millennials are on the verge of reaching that stage. The oldest members of this generation are 42 years old - jump ahead 20-plus years, and they'll be starting to enter retirement. To find out, I'm asking older millennials to fill out the questionnaire below.
