1. Can you afford to retire yet?
Once you’ve decided when the right time for you is, be sure to plan carefully to make the most of your retirement years.
2. Consider the impact of inflation
There are steps you can take to offset the effects of inflation like investing in assets that are less vulnerable to inflation, such as bonds.
3. It’s never too early to start planning for retirement
The sooner you start saving and investing, the more time your money has to grow, due to the power of compounding.
4. Retirement planning is not a one-time event
Your retirement timeline will likely change due to life circumstances e.g. if children or other family members depend on you financially.
5. Retirement is not an all-or-nothing proposition
You don’t have to retire completely to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle. Many people choose to work part-time or pursue other interests.
6. Utilise cash flow modelling
It can help you better plan for your retirement and make sure that you have enough money as well as identify any potential shortfalls.
7. What is your attitude to risk?
If you take on more risk, you may be rewarded with higher returns, alternatively you may want to focus on preserving your capital.
