Thing’s You’ll Learn Along Today’s Journey
Have you stopped to think about what you want retirement to look like? Past your financials, retirement planning has a lot to do with your goals and wants when it comes to how you plan to spend your time. Today, Sean talks with Daniel Allgaier, CFP®, about the mindset and the end goal when it comes to retirement.
When you get to retirement, how do you need to approach it mentally? When you’re saving for retirement, there’s some math problems to figure out. But when you’re building your financial plan, it’s about so much more than the math, and it needs to also focus on the mindset of what retirement will look like. What keeps you going and gives you purpose?
In retirement will you give your time and energy to charity? Are you wanting to start a business? Is your goal to road trip or travel the world? Golf every day? It’s important to have a mental plan of what you’ll do with your time. Transitioning from working to suddenly having a bunch of time on your hands will benefit from a plan.
Retirement isn’t a one-size-fits-all. Everyone is different and likes to do different things with their time in retirement. Likewise, a retirement plan should be unique to you and suit your values, goals, and needs.
What do you want to do in retirement? If you’re a year or two out from retirement, what can you do now to act as if you’re already retired? This will help you get an idea of how much you’ll want to spend and what you’ll do within the safety net of your income stream.
Ultimately, the goal is to make retirement satisfying and fulfilling to you. Do you have financial plan and the right mindset heading into retirement?
