Manage Your Finances
Things have changed dramatically since our parent’s day. The reality was that most couples of that generation didn’t experience a long retirement together. In fact the average Life Expectancy for our fathers was below the retirement age of 65.
Now, if you are reasonably fit and healthy you should live well into your 80s.(Check out our Life Clock !!)
However to enjoy your lifestyle to the full you will need to constantly balance your preferred expenditure against your available income.
The main challenge is that expenditure tends to peak in the early years of retirement – the special holidays, more travel and weekends away, visiting relatives and perhaps the last years of your kids education. So its essential to plan for the costs of enjoying the early “work free” years.
The good news is that is very likely that you have the resources to do this – they just may not yet be in the right place.
The QLagoon Personal Finance Zone covers many ideas as to how this can be achieved .Just follow the links on the left to work through the important areas to ensure that your finances are in good shape.
