Description

Do you sometimes wonder if you’ll ever be able to retire? Sometimes it might feel like you’re going to have to work until you just keel over one day. Well, what if it doesn’t have to be that way? If you start thinking and planning now, before you get too far down the road, things just might work out.

Episode Description:  When work gets to be a grind or you just cannot face another day’s commute, we sometimes dream about retiring and traveling or spending time volunteering or other what-ifs of a distant future. People are living longer (until recently that is) and there is a real possibility of outliving one’s money. We’re healthier and better educated and likely to be around for a long time so we’d like to suggest putting some thought into the things we do need to think about and make plans to give ourselves a real chance they might work out! 

For example:

• What expenses will you need to consider? 
• How’s your health – will you need to cover prescription costs/co-pays? 
• What would you like to do for fun?
• Do you currently own a home? 
• Do you want to make any modifications? 
• Will you be able to pay off your mortgage? 
• Can you sell the house and use the proceeds for living expenses? 

Have you heard of affordable housing programs? So many things to consider, right? Let's discuss.

We have a free gift for you, a Pre-Retirement Planner to get you thinking. :)
