Entering a new phase of life can be scary on its own, but the prospect of no longer earning steady wages can make retirement a particularly tough decision 😰

The good news is that there are some signs that you are financially ready to retire. Take a look at four key ones below.

1️⃣ You are debt-free. You want to pay off debt during your working years, not when you’re on a fixed income. Prioritize debt payoff ahead of retirement.

2️⃣ You have enough saved. You’ll generally want at least 70% to 80% of your pre-retirement income.

3️⃣ Determine a retirement budget. Confirm how much you’ll need (and whether you have enough) by creating a retirement budget–be sure to consider travel plans, etc.

4️⃣ You have reviewed your portfolio. Take a look at your current investments and plan ahead. Often, your portfolio will need to be more conservative in retirement.

Ultimately, if you’re thinking of retiring, it’s a good idea to talk to a financial advisor well ahead of time so that you can enjoy retirement to its fullest 🥳

Planning for the long term is key to a successful financial future, but your short-term financial situation also matters, especially since it can impact that long-term strategy. Just as we all create retirement plans, every adult should have an emergency plan, or “rainy day” fund, offering a safety net for when the unexpected strikes.

Swipe through for six ways an emergency fund provides protection ➡️ And remember, while the exact amount of money needed varies by person, it’s generally recommended that Americans have three to six months' worth of living expenses in an easily accessible checking or high-yield savings account.
