Why you need a plan for retirement

People are living longer. As a result, the average span of your life that is spent in the retirement stage has increased and it can stretch as far as 30 years or more for some. It is essential to enter your retirement with proper financial and lifestyle planning, to ensure a happy and meaningful post-working life.

Although it is commonly the main focus, the area of financial matters is only one of many factors that you need to consider. There are many other keys to happiness that must be taken into consideration if you want a happy and healthy retirement. At Career Coaching and Training, we can help you identify the factors that will need to be considered to meet your emotional and mental requirements, and give you the best chance at leading a fulfilling life outside the workforce.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: When is it too early to plan for retirement?

Answer: Most people think that retirement is a long way off and they have plenty of time to plan. One of the biggest mistakes that people make is waiting until their 50s or 60s to start planning for retirement.

By the time most people reach their late 50s, they have begun to shift their thinking towards the next chapter, says Bob Buford. He describes this as “a time of revitalisation and for catching a new vision for living the second half, the half where life can be lived at its most rewarding.”
