Pay Off Your Debt
The best way to ensure you won’t lose a penny of what you’ve earned is to pay off your debts before you retire. ‘Wait a minute’, you might be thinking, ‘if I’m paying my debts, how am I supposed to save more money?’
Well, we never said it would be easy, but it is certainly doable. Just think about your retirement years. You’ll be financially vulnerable without an income, and you can’t rely on your Social Security too much.
By ensuring that your mortgage, student loans and credit card debts are paid off early, you won’t have to cut off chunks of your golden years savings.
