As you approach retirement, a few essential questions can help clarify if you’re financially ready to step away from work.
First, examine whether you’ve saved enough to support your lifestyle long-term. This may include estimating everyday expenses, healthcare needs, and other retirement plans. Second, think about how your income will change in retirement and what role Social Security and other benefits will play in meeting your needs. Finally, ask yourself how you’ll handle unforeseen expenses or emergencies. Maintaining a solid emergency fund is just as crucial in retirement as it was during your working years.
Preparing for retirement takes thoughtful planning and regular assessment, so revisit these questions often to stay on track. A secure retirement is about more than reaching a certain age—it’s about feeling confident that your finances can sustain your goals and priorities comfortably in the years ahead.
Help The Seniors Center Protect the Future of Social Security
The Seniors Center is committed to finding solutions to strengthen and protect the Social Security Trust Fund. Social Security is a contract between citizens and the government. Money deposited in the Trust Fund should only be used to pay benefits to eligible recipients.
The Seniors Center is demanding Congress finally put a stop to the careless borrowing and spending by greedy politicians that has put our Trust Fund and our secure retirement in jeopardy.
At The Seniors Center, our goal is to help seniors, and we’re doing that by protecting the future of Social Security. Retirees shouldn’t have to worry about losing their hard-earned benefits to taxes or the agendas of greedy politicians. If you agree, we invite you to sign our petition today! And follow The Seniors Center on Twitter and Facebook for more updates!
