- Establish Retirement Goals: Determine the age at which you plan to retire and the lifestyle you want. Use this information to estimate how much money you will need to support your living expenses during retirement.
- Assess Income Needs: Calculate your monthly expenses and factor in potential future healthcare costs. It’s also important to account for inflation, as costs tend to rise over time.
- Maximize Retirement Account Contributions: Contribute as much as possible to tax-advantaged accounts like 401(k)s, IRAs, or other employer-sponsored retirement plans. If your employer offers a matching contribution, take full advantage of this benefit.

For individuals who are several years away from retirement, higher-risk investments such as stocks may be appropriate. As retirement nears, consider shifting towards more conservative investments to preserve capital.
- Review and Adjust: Regularly review your retirement strategy, adjusting for changes in income, expenses, or market conditions. It’s also essential to stay informed about any changes to tax laws or retirement account rules that could impact your strategy.
