Thinking about retirement can be difficult and can serve as the cause of much anxiety. There are many people who have valid concerns about maintaining the income necessary to live comfortably in their golden years. Along with concerns about financial stability comes concerns about maintaining a sense of purpose. It is important for people to think about their “core pursuits,” which are the “activities that actively engage you, are intrinsically rewarding (we’re not talking about money here), and help give meaning to your life.” People should also start early with saving money in a retirement account so that they can have a nest egg to live on in their senior years. Starting early with retirement planning can minimize the number of problems that people will face when they get older.
