As summer break comes to end and the kids head back to school, it’s time to get your own “retirement backpack” ready.

Preparing for retirement is kind of like studying for a test in school. There are many different subjects, and you spend time preparing, hoping that you end up with a good grade. Just like when studying for a test, you need the right tools to succeed in retirement.

Here are some of the supplies you should have in your retirement backpack:

A written plan – Think of this as your study guide. It’s got the answers you need to ace retirement.

Retirement education – Think of this as your time spent in class. Knowledge is power, and the more time you spend learning about personal finance the better prepared you will be.

A financial professional – Think of this as your teacher. They help you create the written plan and answer all your questions.

Calculator – This represents your multiple income streams. It will help you keep track of your retirement income.

While no one really wants to take a test, the work you put into your retirement will be worth it in the end. We are here to serve as a source of knowledge and help you each step of the way. So pack your retirement backpack and get ready to ace retirement!
