“The trouble with retirement is that you never get a day off.”
Retirement is supposed to be the great escape from the stresses inherent in most jobs, a time to experience a fulfilling life derived from many enjoyable and rewarding activities.
The main objective of having a secure retirement plan is to help you maintain a preferred lifestyle even after you have left the job market. However, it can become challenging to implement such plans because it requires you to build your own pension as well as save for later years. With the costly modern-day standards of living, many retirees find it almost impossible to live only on Social Security, while some may live comfortably through the years.
The following are some of the tips to ensure you have a financially secure retirement including where to live, health cover, living wills etc.
Plan for high health care costs
As the health care sector undergoes many changes, it is important to set a plan for managing your health care costs and monitoring them accordingly. As such, you can adjust to the unforeseen changes in health care costs to help you maintain your retirement goals.
Health care costs continue to skyrocket every year, which is a clear indication for future retirees to expect higher costs. When it comes to saving for long-term health care expenses, a secure retirement plan requires you to strategize for a longer life period.
Seek alternative housing options
Before deciding where to live after retirement, you should start researching on alternative housing to help you cut down on your bills. As soon as you leave the job market, you will have the freedom to choose many places to live. It is advisable to opt for a location with lower cost of living but comfortable enough to pursue your retirement goals. With a wide range of other factors to consider, such as family, price, and nearness to healthcare, choosing a residence during retirement can become overwhelming if not well thought out in advance.
You can choose to rent out your current home and convince a few like-minded retirees to join you in buying an outdoor space, which would act as a common place for group activities as well as for privacy. Generally, when you start pondering on where you desire to live after retirement, you must first choose a safe place that where you can easily access healthcare.
Come up with a Living Will
However much you wouldn’t want to think about the end of your life while still young, death is an inevitable occurrence that has to be cushioned to minimize its effects on your family. A living will is a prewritten directive that your family can use to honor your wishes when undergoing treatment before the end of life. Even though it lacks meaning after death, it effectively serves as a reference to your decisions when you cannot communicate them due to illness.
Securing a retirement with a living will is one of the preferred ways of preparing ahead of time because it saves your family the agony of making difficult choices during a health crisis or emergency. You should ensure you have a living will, especially if you have acute illnesses, such as cancer, HIV/AIDS, diabetes, stroke etc., since it is legally recognized when honoring your end-of-life care needs.
Avoid spending your retirement savings
Let’s face it! The urge to use your savings to fund emergencies can sometimes be irresistible. However, when it comes to retirement assets, resisting the urge to use them can go a long way to give you a tax-free growth, which will also help you accomplish some important goals in the future.
Even though it has become a daunting task for many young people to sacrifice their salaries to secure their retirement, you should make long-term savings plans to avoid short-term spending. You should also try to maintain your lifestyle as you save for retirement so that you monitor the plan vis-à-vis the amount of savings.
Implementing these cue points will not only condense your retirement plans into actionable steps, but will also give you an overview of the lifestyle you want to live during retirement.
