Developing a Retirement Investing Plan That Fits You

Written by Tom Turner

Posted: 2/12/08

We are programmed to think ahead and plan for our futures. We were taught in school that we must get good grades and go to college -- get a good job and live the good life. Now that you have done all those things it time to start thinking about retirement investing. There are a few basic rules you should apply when thinking about your retirement investing plan. This article will help you create a retirement investing schedule that fits your needs.

Where do you want to be in 5 years?

Before you can plan ahead you need to know where it is you really want to go. If you plan on traveling when you retire you may not want to have the burden of a home and all the up-keep that is involved with that obligation. Retirement investing is not always about making the right investments. It is also about smart handling of your assets and time management. If you own a home you will need to have it cared for while you are away on your trips. If you sell the home you may be losing the investment value, but you will be adding life value by relieving yourself from the obligation and expense of maintaining the home.

Do You Need the Motor Home?

When considering your retirement investing plan you should think about the types of vehicles you will own. The stereotypical retiree buys a motor home and off they go. Then they are hit with huge gas bills, maintenance charges, and insurance and the list goes on. If you considered a smaller vehicle you may save a considerable amount. This may not sound like retirement investing, but if you are saving money you are earning money.

Learn All You Can About Retirement Investing

The internet is a wonderful place to discover a good retirement investing plan. See what others are doing and develop a system that works best for you. It is not always about stocks and bonds. Think ahead and manage what you have. That is a great investment.

Staying Healthy Is A Great Retirement Investing Plan

Continuing on with the thought of Retirement Investing other than stocks and bonds -- you should be developing a healthy diet and workout regiment. Consult with your doctor to develop a health plan that works best for you. If you are not healthy no amount of money will really matter. Enjoy life to the fullest by thinking out side the box.
