September 2023

Retirement planning is an essential part of a healthy financial life. It is never too early to start saving for retirement. You should aim to save at least 15% of your income towards your retirement every year. The earlier you start, the more time your money has to grow. It is important to invest your retirement savings in a diversified portfolio that balances risk and reward, and that aligns with your long-term financial goals.

One of the biggest mistakes people make is not having a clear understanding of their retirement expenses. Consider all the expenses that you may have in retirement, such as housing, healthcare, travel, and entertainment. Make sure to factor in inflation and unexpected expenses as well. Having a clear understanding of your retirement expenses will help you to save and invest appropriately.

Finally, it is important to have a plan for generating income in retirement. This may include Social Security benefits, pension income, and income from your retirement savings. Consider when to start taking Social Security benefits and how much you can expect to receive. Make sure to have a withdrawal strategy for your retirement savings to ensure that your money lasts throughout your retirement.

By taking these steps, you can set yourself up for a comfortable retirement. Remember, it's never too early or too late to start planning for your retirement. 

WEEK 1
