planning ahead for retirement
Whether you started your retirement savings in your 20’s or in your 40’s, planning ahead for retirement is key. There are various elements to consider especially once you approach the last 10 years before retirement. Always consult with your trusted advisors along the way. Your financial planner, accountant, lawyer and mortgage broker can help build the plan. Yes, you read it— your mortgage broker. Most people would not think to consult with a mortgage broker but you might be pleasantly surprised about the resources available which can help you retire with more income while maintaining lower income taxes. This can help you to build and preserve that nest egg to ensure a better lifestyle including travel, access to in-home health care or updates to your home or a family members home so you have a safe living environment to meet your long term needs.
