RETIREMENT PLANNING: A CAREER OBJECTIVE

I have recently hung up my boots for one last time.

My second innings is done and dusted and now I set sail for a Fully Retired Life. But as I embark on this new journey I question myself that am I prepared ?

Have I prepared for it ? Financially Yes but otherwise ? The answer is No. I had a career Road Map and I tried following it but do I have a Retired Road Map. Do I have specific goals to achieve because now I am in total control of my life.

Every race has an ending, be it job or life, it will end one day. However most of us are neither mentally prepared for it nor emotionally equipped to deal especially the retirement part.

So when it happens we all get unsettled because are plans are not laid out. Its like one of those trains which suddenly jolt to a stop. Most of us are busy planning our career and intently focus on the rise but we never plan beyond that which is unfortunate because there is a huge chunk of life beyond it and the best part is that it is for you.

You are going to be your Own Boss. No body is going to tell you what to do and how to do it. Its your call. These close of 15-20 years which is almost 180-240 months is at your disposal. These are the most precious time of your life. It will go exactly the way you want it.

So start planing for it. Don’t grope when you reach there. Your roadmap should be clearly defined by you. While it is important to do a solid career planing but it is more important to do equally if not more solid Retirement Planning. Not just financial planing but milestones to be achieved. Milestones Set by You & Achieved by You.
