Book A Free Financial Coaching Call! Hey there, budget besties! 🌟 Today, we're diving into a topic that's super close to our hearts: retirement. But not just any retirement—the kind where you're living your best life at 45, traveling the world, or pursuing a passion project. Let's dream big and break the mold of traditional retirement plans!

Key Takeaways:

1. Creating a Vision:

2. Imagine your dream retirement. Is it full of travel, starting a new business, or spending time with grandkids? Whatever it is, start with that vision.

3. Retirement doesn't mean stopping work; it means financial independence where you work because you want to, not because you have to.

4. Breaking the Norm:

5. Many people plan for a fixed income, relying heavily on social security. We encourage thinking outside the box—plan to live off your savings, investments, and passions.

6. Consider the 4% rule: Living off 4% of your investments can keep you financially stable without touching your principal.

7. Stages of Retirement:

8. Retirement can happen in stages. Start by reducing your work hours, then perhaps transition to remote or passion-based work.

9. Aim to pay off major debts like your mortgage to free up your budget for the fun stuff!

10. Practical Steps:

11. Create a budget that reflects your retirement vision.

12. Use tools like our personalized budget templates to map out your financial future. You can find them at budgetbffs.com/budget.

13. For Those Already Retired:

14. It's never too late to adjust your plan. Focus on budgeting, reducing debt, and exploring additional income sources without compromising your social security benefits.

15. Share your new knowledge with your kids and grandkids to help them plan better futures.
