RETIRE YOUNG RETIRE FINANCIALLY SECURED

Studies showed that those who worked to the age of 65 before retirement will probably die within 18 months of retirement. That means these people, will on average, collect 17 pension fund checks before they die. Is it worth slogging for over 40 years in high-pressure environments, and not being able to enjoy life? What’s the purpose of accumulating all those retirement funds if it stays as a number in some records?

Really, we should all plan our career path and financials early so that we can retire no later than 55 years old and enjoy a long and happy retirement.

Retirement expert Bob Carlson says that people will need more money than they think during their upcoming retirement, and that they should use innovative and carefully researched strategies to ensure financial security throughout their retirement years. Let's hope more people will take retirement planning seriously and start taking appropriate steps towards a happy and secured retirement early.
