Retirement Financial Planner Bill Losey Offers Six Ways To Retire Happy

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Feb. 13, 2014 - PRLog -- Bill Losey, Retirement Intelligence publisher and Retirement Advisor, recently published an article offering ways that retirees can succeed in realizing the life that they want. The blog found on his website http://www.BillLosey.com, is titled “6 Ways To Retire Happy & Comfortable.”

Bill writes, “Fate aside, it isn’t merely a matter of stock market performance or investment selection that makes the difference. There are certain dos and don’ts – some less apparent than others – that tend to encourage retirement happiness and comfort.”

Here are the six tips that Bill reveals in the article:

1.     Retire financially literate

2.     Retire knowing that you’ll have to assume some risk

3.     Retire debt-free, or close to debt-free

4.     Retire with purpose

5.     Retire Healthy

6.     Retire in a community where you feel at home

On retiring financially literate, Bill writes, “Some retirees don’t know how much they don’t know. They end their careers with inadequate financial knowledge, and yet feel that they can plan retirement on their own. They mistake retirement income planning for the whole of retirement planning, and gloss over longevity risk, risks to their estate, and potential health care expenses. The more you know, the more your retirement readiness improves.”

Bill also explains how retiring with purpose is a huge factor in retirement happiness. Bill writes, “There’s a difference between retiring and quitting. Some people can’t wait to quit their job at 62 or 65 – their work is ‘killing’ them, or boring them senseless.  If only they could escape and just relax and do nothing for a few years – wouldn’t that be a nice reward? Relaxation can lead to inertia, however – and inertia can lead to restlessness, even depression. You want to retire to a dream, not away from a problem.”
