NewRetirement’s Advisor Bud Hebeler of AnalyzeNow.com was just featured in a New York Times Article titled “To Retire in This Weak Market, the Magic Word Is ‘Focus’” that discusses some very interesting and important approaches for retirement preparation. There were quiet a few great takeaways from this article of which I will include two below.
While planning for retirement it is always important to set goals for your future, and the article brings up some clairvoyant questions you must ask yourself. “The first question assumes you have all the money you need –how would you live your life today? In the second, you are told that you have five years to live: what would you do with that time? And the final question aims right at the heart. You have 24 hours left on earth –what did you miss? Whom did you not get to be?” These questions allow you to step back for a minute and decide what is vital to your future, which in many cases does not have to do with financial concerns. Once you can decide what you truly want out of life, then you can set out the course for a retirement plan that will help you meet your goals.
Mr. Hebeler’s advice is also very insightful because retirees rarely budget for wear and tear items. If you put in the expenses for replacing or repairing cars, air conditioners, and your home, then you will have a much clearer picture of your necessary retirement finances.
