12 Huge Financial Mistakes Most Seniors Make Before Retirement

April 14, 2021 · Saving & Spending

You Don’t Think of ALL Financial Decisions as Retirement Decisions

You don’t HAVE to think of your retirement every single day. In fact, we advise you not to or else you may be put off entirely. But we have to admit, every financial decision that you make today will impact your golden years whether you want it or not. Big or small, these decisions will culminate in your retirement security.

It’s all about healthy financial decisions and maintaining a good routine. If you opt for take-out every day, you can say goodbye to potentially hundreds of dollars per month. Would you rather buy a used car or a luxury import? How will that translate to your savings?

Are you ready to go all out on yearly vacations or can you compromise on a smaller yet still enjoyable holiday?

You don’t always have to say no to the things you want that make your life richer, but being smart about your decisions will help in the future!
