As part of National Retirement Planning Week, Guardian Retirement Solutions is promoting a website designed to help people plan for their later years by offering a personality-driven approach to retirement planning.

Launched late last year, the site, Retirement Style Matters, identifies four different retirement styles or personalities: The Connector, The Analyst, The Seeker and The Adventurer. Once a person figures out what type of saver they are, they can then develop a savings plan that fits in with their financial personality.

"An alarming number of workers simply aren't taking the necessary steps to prepare themselves and their families for retirement," said Doug Dubitsky, vice president of product management and development for Guardian Retirement Solutions. "The tools available on the Retirement Style Matters site are designed to help people become more comfortable with the planning process, thereby making it more likely that they will start saving for retirement."
