What is Retirement Planning
Creating a retirement plan begins with determining your long-term financial goals and tolerance for risk, and then starting to take action to reach those goals. The process can begin any time during your working years, but the earlier the better.
How Retirement Planning Works
A retirement plan is your preparation for a good life after you're done working to pay the bills, or at least done working a full-time job. But it's not all about money.
The non-financial aspects include lifestyle choices such as how you want to spend your time in retirement and where you'll live. A holistic approach to retirement planning considers all these areas.
Why Is a Retirement Plan So Important
A retirement plan helps you sock away enough money to maintain the same lifestyle you currently have after you retire. While you may work part-time or pick up the odd gig here or there, it probably won't be enough to sustain your current lifestyle. Social Security benefits will only take you so far. That's why it's important to have a viable long-term plan for a financially comfortable retirement.
