Every worker is always planning towards retirement since it comes with some financial benefits which are both pension and gratuity. But this can only happens if you work to your last day of legally retiring from your job. But they are basic things you can do that would jeopardize you retirement plans.

Some basics things that can limit your retirement plans

Getting a sack prior to retirement period; You might not get the full package you would have gotten if you had worked till when you should legally retired. if you for whatever reasons get sacked before the appointed time it might shattered your retirement plans.

No saving funds: if you never had your financial plans in place before retirement, then it might be difficult to get your plans working. planning for retirement effectively demands financial planning too.

Having no health insurance: There's always one health challenge or the other during the retirement period. if you didn't put this in place with all the health challenges that might arise you would quickly get financially drain and the plan for your retirement jeopardized.

Some employers establish pension plans for their workers which can help people who find it difficult to save for retirement.
Some also allow access to pension if yiu work for a certain number of years before quitting which is good.

I think one of the worst ways to jeopardize your retirement plans is not having one at all. Sadly, almost everyone I've come across doesn't have one, with most of them expecting their pensions and gratuity to cater for their expenses when they retire. Even if it's enough, it's possible to get bored easily when you stay for a long time without anything to do.

Another way to spoil your plans when you retire without having secure your own house, especially in my part of the world. Many retirees find themselves thrown out if they are unable to pay their rent on time due to a delay in the payment of pension. It also affects their family whose lives are disrupted.

There are a number of ways that you can jeopardize your retirement plans.

One way is by investing in the stock market, which can be risky if you're not careful. The market is volatile, and it's easy to get caught up in the excitement of buying stocks. But if you do this, there are some things you should keep in mind:

1. Do not invest more than 5% of your retirement savings in the stock market.

2. Be sure to diversify your investments so that if one company goes under, there are other companies that will continue to provide services or products that are useful to you. For example, if you have $10,000 saved up, it's best to put at least half of it into stocks or bonds that have different industries as their focus (like technology or health care). This will help protect against losing everything if one industry gets hit hard.
