In your 60’s? Use your financial freedom wisely
by Rocket FinanceI had some major site problems last night. Therefore, I was unable to spend my usual time on this post. I had planned to participate in the Money Advice for the Ages project being led by Madison from My Dollar Plan. Here are a couple of thoughts that I may elaborate in the future:
-
Don’t just retire because you can, retire because you want to.
-
Retirement is an opportunity to serve – family, humanity, God, and more.
-
Happy retirees still have goals in life. What are yours?
-
Frugal retirees have the opportunity to be philanthropic with their time.
-
Look for opportunities to give advice (especially financial) to loved ones in your life.
-
Remember your church in your estate plan.
-
Write down your thoughts about life – keep a journal.
As those of you in your 60’s look toward retirement, you may enjoy What’s your retirement story? a guest post at My Dollar Plan and be sure to check for great retirement advice from Ciaran at Chance Favors the Prepared Mind.

Yes, retire because we want to. I think if people can retire early they should do so. So they can bond with their family more and the most important think is to keep their health in a good shape.
