Preparing for Retirement

Wherever you are in your journey through life, every goal begins with a solid plan — and retirement is no exception. As Mark Twain wisely said, “Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones that you did do.”

Time to Seize Control of Your Future

As you enter your 40s and 50s, you’ve likely honed your occupational expertise and are earning a steady income. However, if you’ve followed the traditional path — accumulating a house, a spouse or partner, 2.5 kids, a Labradoodle, and the proverbial white picket fence — you may also be noticing a significant increase in living expenses.

Set Goals

Understanding the difference between goals and dreams is essential. Think of goals as the specific steps you intend to take, while dreams are aspirations without a clear plan. With well-defined goals, you can track your progress and see how far you’ve come.

In your 20s, you probably focused on dreams; now it’s time to set concrete goals. Setting goals creates a roadmap for your life, especially after 40. By identifying areas for improvement — such as ramping up your savings instead of remaining stagnant — you can foster a sense of pride and fulfillment as you work toward achieving them.

Having goals not only promotes personal growth but also:

  • Provides a clear path to follow.
  • Keeps you motivated, even during challenging times.
  • Helps you recover more easily when setbacks occur.
  • Increases productivity and allows you to make the most of your time.

At this stage of your journey, shaping your future may include reassessing your path and making adjustments to get to where you want to go.
