As you approach retirement, the 10-year countdown is crucial for fine-tuning your financial plan. Think of it like preparing for a major trip. In the final years of work, you’re earning and saving at your maximum pace, like flying at 500 mph. But retirement isn’t just about getting there; it’s about planning each step after. Like planning your trip from the airport to your final destination, you need to ensure you have everything laid out and can afford what you plan to do.
Here are 10 key steps to consider:
Assess Your Savings – Motivation-based, Goal-based
Trim Expenses and Boost Income
Diversify Your Savings
