But you can’t waste the next 10 years. If you’re in your 50s, focus on these 10 things: 1️⃣ Know your retirement number. Figure out how much monthly income you’ll actually need. 2️⃣ Maximise your retirement contributions. Your 50s can be some of your most important saving years. 3️⃣ Check your Social Security record. Make sure your earnings history is accurate. 4️⃣ Plan for healthcare before 65. Medicare generally won’t cover you before then. 5️⃣ Get serious about your mortgage. Lower housing costs can make retirement much easier. 6️⃣ Build multiple income streams. Don’t depend on just one source of income. 7️⃣ Consider downsizing. A smaller home can mean lower expenses. 8️⃣ Keep some money in cash and bonds. You don’t want to be forced to sell stocks after a market crash. 9️⃣ Budget for your real retirement lifestyle. Include travel, taxes, healthcare, hobbies and everyday expenses. 🔟 Update your estate plan. Review your will, beneficiaries, power of attorney and healthcare directives. You don’t retire simply because you turn 60. You retire when your numbers say you can. 💰
