Making Your Money Work Harder for Retirement

Little things you could do that could help you leave work a little sooner.

Little things matter. When planning for retirement, people naturally think about the big things – arranging sufficient income, amassing enough savings, investing so that you don’t outlive your money, managing forms of risk. All of this is essential. Still, there are also little financial adjustments you can make at mid-life that may pay off significantly for you down the road.

You’re in your late 50’s, and retirement is no longer a distant speck on the horizon.  Leaving your working days behind, or at least working less, is in your near future.  Whether you plan on semi-retirement or full retirement, you’ll want to make sure that your income will last.

“What is the best way to save for my kid’s college education?” is a question that comes up pretty frequently for someone in our line of work.
