Your RETIREMENT days should be the longest “holiday” or your life, but without proper planning, it could also be the longest “nightmare” of your life .
Invest in experiences” and “YOLO”, or “You Only Live Once”, are the generation’s battle cry. This also carries the premise that the best time to capture these experiences is now, while you are still young and have the energy to explore the world.
While there is nothing wrong with exploring what the world has to offer, and experiences are indeed a wonderful investment in yourself, you should also plan for your future. What happens to you when you are no longer able to make a living? What happens to you when you retire? Think long and hard about it. After all, time flies when you are having fun. Before you know it, the years have gone by and you may not have any savings left to tide you over.
Investing in a retirement plan as early as possible will give you the opportunity to earn more which might make it possible to retire early, allowing you to enjoy the returns on your investment while you still have the energy to do so.
Which would you choose?
