4 Goals For Your Retirement

December 13, 2016 by Sally

Retirement is a wonderful checkpoint in your life that symbolizes the attainment of finally reaching a period of relaxation that you’ve earned. Retirement means that you can finally put your feet up and enjoy your golden years without having to stress about a 9-5 job or worry about schedules, deadlines, or any of the other pressures of the rat race.

You’ve put in your time and now it’s your turn to enjoy yourself.  So how do you prepare for this time in your life to make sure by the time you get there you’ve got everything lined up for your success?  Take a look at some of these goals  that you can aim for, to make sure you have the best retirement possible.

Put Away Money Enough Money For Yourself

What kind of a retirement would it be if you had no money saved for yourself?  If you have no job then you aren’t going to be pulling in any sort of revenue.  This may be hard to prepare for in your younger years when retirement feels so far away and all you want to do is spend.  To motivate yourself,  you’re going to have to be like the grasshopper that worked all summer so he would live well in the winter.  You will thank yourself later.

Consider a ROTH IRA or investing in an annuity which can continue to grow in value over the years and provide a nice amount of financial comfort later down the road.  

Move Somewhere Sunny

Make it a point to settle down somewhere beautiful!! Perhaps there are some people who enjoy the colder weather, but for most of us, sunny weather makes us feel happy and rejuvenated.  Sunny weather also means being able to do more activities outdoors which makes you more lively and energized.

Try choosing somewhere that is low cost but also in a location with sunny weather.  Places like this can be found in certain places in California and Florida.

Live Close To Your Family

Choosing a location that is close to your family ensures that you won’t get lonely or that if any sort of emergency happens to you in your older age, you will have help.  This also means that you will be able to enjoy your grandchildren or even great grandchildren!

Travel

Having the luxury of being able to travel during the retirement years is something you won’t want to miss out on.  Choose relaxing destinations that you’ve always wanted to go.

Waiting until your retirement years to travel can be amazing since you’ve waited so long to be able to fulfill your traveling dreams and the experiences you have will mean that much more to you.
