With skyrocketing housing prices and salaries that don’t appear to be keeping up, retirement can seem like little more than a dream for some people, while still remaining a difficult challenge for other. That said, for most of us retirement in an inevitability, and here are three life lessons to keep in mind when contemplating retirement.
You can’t take your money with you when you die. Retirement often signifies an advancement in age, and when the time comes some of us start to consider our mortality. It’s important to remember, however, that we can’t take our money with us when we die. That money would likely better spent on living our retirement to the fullest, or better yet, living a good life while still working.
Time is more important than money. You may be fortunate enough to find yourself with more money than you need come retirement, but odds are the same can’t be said of your time. It’s worth keeping in mind when deciding how much of that time will be spent on making money before you reach retirement.
Regret is not worth hanging on to. You can’t change the past, but you can certainly decide of how you’ll let your relationship with the past affect your present and your future. Moving on is far healthier than dwelling, and those who don’t let the past haunt them find themselves much happier on average.
