Understanding Retirement Planning
Planning for retirement isn’t just about saving – it’s about making smart financial decisions at every stage of life. A better understanding of the financial industry can help you avoid costly mistakes and achieve long-term stability.
In this week’s Better Money Boston with WCVB Channel 5, join Joel Johnson, CFP® as he shares common pitfalls, insider tips, and practical strategies for a successful retirement.
Avoid Common Mistakes
Saving for retirement is of course important, but young people sometimes make the mistake of focusing so much on saving that they miss out on valuable life experiences. It’s more than possible to enjoy meaningful moments with family without being reckless with money.
