Countdown to Retirement

Countdown to Retirement refers to the period leading up to when an individual plans to stop working and begin enjoying retirement. It involves assessing financial readiness, such as savings, pensions, and investments, to ensure a comfortable lifestyle. This phase may include setting goals, understanding Social Security benefits, and planning healthcare needs. Individuals often evaluate their desired retirement age, lifestyle, and where they want to live. Preparing mentally and emotionally is also important, as retirement significantly changes daily routines and social interactions. Proper planning during this countdown helps ensure a secure and fulfilling retirement experience.
