What to Do When You Don't Have Enough to Retire???



If it's already too late and your personal retirement planning crisis has already happened? Do not worry…!

Here are some handy options to consider:

Prioritize: Think hard about what's most valuable to you and likely to make your retirement fulfilling. Is freedom or quality time more important to you than a big house and huge travel budget? If so, you may be among the lucky group of people who can retire at the age you've always planned.

Consider retiring later: These words make many cringe, but a couple of extra years of income can make a huge difference in how much you receive from Social Security and a defined benefit pension, if you have one.

Find extra income: Retirement can also be perceived as refinement. This refinement enables you to do what you love or do things which you always wanted to do.

Think broadly about wealth: Most people actually have more wealth than they think when they think narrowly about assets earmarked for retirement. You need to have an open minded approach towards wealth.

Save more: This can be easier said than done and makes less of a difference if you are just a few years away from retirement because your money doesn't have time to compound. Saving more is always a good thing to do.
