What are the five most common retirement mistakes?
  • Not having enough money saved to live on in your retirement
  • Waiting too long to start planning for your future
  • Not having a qualified financial advisor managing your wealth and investments
  • Lacking knowledge about what is available in the various investment markets
  • Spending more than you can afford on things like travel, hobbies, and staying at hotels


These are some of the top mistakes people make when they begin preparing for their golden years. The good news is that there are ways you can avoid these missteps so you don't end up with unnecessary financial stress. Here's how.

Firstly, start planning for retirement early. It's never too late to begin making the most of your finances and setting your retirement goals. But, you'll find that the earlier you create a financial plan and begin saving, the better position you'll be in when it's time to leave your job and fully enjoy your retirement.

Secondly, consider working with a financial advisor who is qualified to help manage both your investments and life insurance needs. This way, whether you need guidance investing in stocks or bonds, or are looking for an individual term life insurance plan, you can count on someone who can help you make sound financial decisions.
