Are You Ready for Retirement?

Are you ready for retirement? My husband and I are planning on retiring as early and as soon as possible. This is both exciting and scary. It feels great to be at this stage in our life, but we’re not really sure we’re ready for retirement. Actually, we are ready, but our finances probably are not.

No matter what your age, if you haven’t started planning to get ready for retirement, start now. There is no time like the present to plan for your future.

I am an unorganized mess when it comes to finances. Running two businesses and a household budget is overwhelming. Every year I set out on a good path, recording income, expenses and filling out the reporting documents. Usually, around April, I start to waiver. Then I get a week behind. A month behind. Then it’s two months and I give up.

Enough is enough. I am committed to doing better for my family and my business. It’s time to schedule an appointment with a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional.

No matter what your age, if you haven’t started planning to get ready for retirement, start now. There is no time like the present to plan for your future.
