The Final Piece of Your Retirement System
Planning for retirement is often considered a marathon, not a sprint. It starts when we’re young and get our first “real” job and we’re encouraged to start contributing to the company’s 401k plan. Over the years, we may seek retirement planning advice from friends or family, but we still have years before we retire so we don’t usually have a real plan at this point. We have a smattering of various financial products that were purchased for specific, isolated needs.
But as we approach our 40’s and 50’s, we start to realize that it’s time to get serious about it.
