When we think of retirement, we often imagine endless days of relaxation, travel, and leisure. But how much of this is a dream versus reality? Today, we’ll explore why a realistic approach to retirement, inclusive of financial planning and the potential for unexpected challenges, is crucial.
It’s important to remember that retirement isn’t a one-size-fits-all scenario. What works for someone else might not work for you, and you need to be prepared to navigate the twists and turns that life might throw your way. Listen in as Mike and Ben chat about managing your expectations, accounting for changing expenses, and being prepared to adjust your plan along the way.
Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:
- Understanding what retirement will realistically look like for you and planning accordingly
- Accounting for changing expenses, from health insurance to cell phone bills
- Being ready to adjust your plan in response to market volatility, health changes, and inflation
