When is the best time to get started?
I’d say, “Anytime.”
There’s not ever a time when you’re too late.
And retirement doesn’t have to end your passion…
In fact, it can give you the freedom to do another great thing.
For me, it was a time to create my podcast and help women in menopause.
Some people prepare for retirement by transitioning slowly…
Either they enjoy new hobbies or spend more time with friends…
Some even consider part-time retirement by working for a few hours and making sure they could go traveling.
A very helpful question to ask ourselves when thinking about retirement is, “What are some of the things I really enjoy?”
And I think planning for your future is a form of self-love.
There’s nothing wrong with putting yourself first…
Or your personal finances.
Have you been putting off saving for retirement because you don’t believe you can save enough?
I can tell you right now that it’s possible to retire with millions of dollars if you just follow the right steps.
