The 5 Fallacies of Retirement

Many people put off thinking about retirement until late into their lives. For some, retirement means old age and inactivity. For others, it is a matter they will face when the time is “right.” There are so many retirement fallacies out there. This post will try to shed light into some of these fallacies.

Being retired is actually one of the most exciting phases of life! It’s during retirement that you get to do everything you like. The point of retiring is that you do not need to work to sustain your lifestyle. Some still continue to work but income is ideally not a grave concern during this period.

2. “I’ll deal with it when I have ‘enough’ money.”

Low income is not an excuse to start early. Don’t fret if you can only save a small fixed amount every month. Keep it up. When you have saved enough, invest it in a financial vehicle that can give you medium to high returns in the long run. The earlier you start, the longer time you will have to grow your money!
