About Retiring

Retiring is the process of stopping work and ceasing to be employed. It's a significant life event that marks the end of one phase of your life and the beginning of another.

There are many factors to consider when planning for retirement, including:

Finances: How much money will you need to live on during retirement? Do you have enough saved up to cover your expenses?

Health: What is your current health status? Do you have any chronic health conditions that could affect your retirement plans?

Lifestyle: What do you want to do during retirement? Do you have any hobbies or interests that you want to pursue?

Social connections: How will you stay connected with friends and family during retirement? Do you have any plans to travel or engage in social activities?

Housing: Do you plan to stay in your current home, or do you want to downsize or move to a different location?

It's important to consider these and other factors as you plan for retirement. It may also be helpful to seek financial advice from a professional to help you plan and prepare for this major life transition.
