I've been thinking a lot about retirement this past year and I'd like to hear your retirement goals. I admittedly am getting a late start in my planning and now need to do some catching up.
Are you waiting to hit a certain age or a certain dollar amount?
How much are you trying to save for retirement?
What age did you start saving for retirement, where you an early planner or late to the game?
What age are you eligible for full Social Security and do you calculate SS in your retirement plan?
Will your house be paid off or do you plan to move to a smaller home or become a snowbird?
What do you worry the most about when it comes to retirement?
Are you doing anything special to save for retirement faster?
What do you want to be able to do in your retirement? (fully retire or work part time for extra cash etc)
My answers
Are you waiting to hit a certain age or a certain dollar amount? Would like to retire at 60 but more likely 65
How much are you trying to save for retirement? 350000
What age did you start saving for retirement, where you an early planner or late to the game? I will get a pension that I pay into but I am late in starting an additional savings plan
What age are you eligible for full Social Security and do you calculate SS in your retirement plan? 67- I do to a degree but Im hoping not to have to rely on it
Will your house be paid off or do you plan to move to a smaller home or become a snowbird? paid off probably stay put- but the thought of having a place where someone else takes care of the yard sounds appealing
What do you worry the most about when it comes to retirement? Health care cost
Are you doing anything special to save for retirement faster? Trying to pay down debt and roll any future pay raises into savings for retirement
What do you want to be able to do in your retirement? (fully retire or work part time for extra cash etc) I may sub a few days a week but I don't want a set schedule
