The theme this week on the Retirement Quick Tips Podcast is: Know Thyself. I’m posing some questions you’ll want to ponder as you approach retirement that will help you keep the big picture in mind and align your finances with your most important goals. 

Today’s question is: What is your greatest strength when it comes to managing your finances? And the flip side of that, what is your greatest weakness?

Why it matters…

Implications for your finances…

If you’re married, dealing with differing strengths and weaknesses

Examples:

• Frugal & a “prodigious accumulator of wealth”. I’ve been maxing out my 401k every year since I was 22, but I would go to happy hour and fret about the $20 bill because I really couldn’t afford to spend money on very many fun things.
• Flipside, is that I can also be cheap…delaying a new roof…would rather strap a kid to the roof of my car then buy a new one…will often buy cheap things that aren’t durable or high quality (clothes, luggage, crap toys that break easily)

That’s it for today. Thanks for listening! My name is Ashley Micciche and this is the Retirement Quick Tips podcast.
