Retirement can be a big decision, one that shouldn’t be taken lightly. You’ve probably thought about it on more than one occasion. Thousands of Baby Boomers are turning 65 every single day, which means that thousands of people a day consider their retirement prospects, and how well off they might be. If you are still working and you have decided that you are ready to submit your resignation and set your retirement date, stop right there. We want you to ask yourself some important questions before you pull the trigger. Are you sure you are ready? Do you know with certainty that you could make it? Have you considered a contingency plan? Do you have a retirement budget and financial plan created? Don’t wing this one! We promise you, if you take just a little bit more time and plan the right way, you will feel a whole heck of a lot better about the decision you are about to make. Today’s show is all about the four questions you need to ask yourself before you set your retirement date!

The Retirement Ready radio show is featured every Saturday on WTMJ 620 AM at 1:00 pm. We will bring you information on: Social Security options, retirement trends, options to retire with life changes and achieving a secure financial future. Listen live: www.wtmj.com/listen-live
