What are your plans for retirement? Are you confident that they are mistake-proof, especially when it comes to your finances? In today’s episode, Bill talks about the mistakes that retirees can make during retirement. If you’re retired, are you willing to spend an additional fee every month as upkeep for the car that you’ve purchased? Because of the unnecessary fees and costs that you weren’t able to compute into your retirement funds, chances are, you’ll be withdrawing money from your investment pool, which will hurt your investment portfolio. Bill reiterates the importance of thinking twice, before making that big purchase, as it could be a big issue in your financial future.

Highlights

• What are the mistakes that retirees make while in retirement? - 0:43
• There are retirees who are buying new or used cars upon retirement but are not able to prepare for the maintenance costs of having one. - 1:07
• It’s so important to understand where your income comes from in retirement. - 1:20
• Before you go out and make that big purchase, please understand where those payments are going to come from. - 2:24
• Think twice about buying that luxury car in retirement, it could really be a big issue in your financial future. - 2:46
