Ten common “reasons” why someone does not plan for retirement.
Stop procrastinating. How does the saying go? The best time to plant a tree is 30 years ago. The second best time is ... TODAY.
It's NEVER too soon. The sooner you start planning, the better chance you stand of having the kind of retirement you want.
Think again. Even if you've already retired, it's important to consider how you're receiving income and how long it will last.
This one baffles me. If you're simply giving monthly to a savings account and hoping for the best, you may be in for an unpleasant surprise someday.
Starting small is better than not starting at all, and if you plan well, you'll eventually have more to work with.
Consider speaking with a Financial Professional who can look at your complete financial picture and help you to develop a plan to make your "mess" work for you.
If you're planning to retire on Social Security alone, I would advise you to create a back-up plan at the very least.
Saving for retirement without an income distribution plan could be a mistake. Have you considered inflation? Taxes? If you live to 100, will the money last?
If you bite the bullet now and put a firm plan in motion, you may not have to think about it again for quite some time.
If you knew everything there was to know about financial planning, you'd probably be a financial advisor yourself. If you're putting off retirement planning because you don't know how to begin, consider speaking to a professional who does.
