Retirement planning
Did you ever notice that many people spend more time planning for a two-week trip than they do for retirement? Odd but true.
So how do you plan for retirement, the journey of a lifetime? Actually, much like how you would plan for a trip:
| A trip | Retirement | |
| 1 | Decide when you want to take your trip. | Decide when you want to retire. |
| 2 | Decide what you want to do during your trip. | Decide what you want to do during retirement. |
| 3 | Determine how much your trip is going to cost you. | Determine how much your retirement lifestyle is going to cost you. |
| 4 | Determine how you will pay for your trip. | Determine your sources of income. (No, unlike vacation travel, you can't put your retirement on a major credit card and pay for it later!) |
| 5 | Start saving now! | Start saving now! |
Planning for retirement is relatively easy and certainly worth the effort if you wish to retire with adequate income.
