If only our own retirement funds were so fun to plan! LOL

At what age is a person considered old? In the past, it was generally thought to be 65, the age most would retire at. Now there is no single point at which one becomes old. In a society of living longer, working longer and now being healthier than ever before, there is no real single age at which one becomes old. In fact, normal aging is not really felt until after age 75 for most Canadians. ... Aging is not all loss, decline, sadness and depression. Rather than focusing on the negative aspects of aging, why not look around at todays seniors. They are more educated, more resilient and now healthier and happier than their parents ever were in retirement. Today more than any other time in history we see a growing population of aging retirees living longer. This makes it all the more important to not only have a sound financial plan but also a personalized lifestyle plan to enjoy your time once you stop working. Consider reading the chapter on Retirement Dreaming in my book: How To Retire Debt Free & Wealthy

Are you having trouble picturing your retirement and having difficulty setting a goal for that inevitable future? Here is a great way to stay motivated and begin to create excitement toward future attainable goals. Why not create a DREAM BOARD ... This is a collection of pictures that you can acquire over time and post on a mirror, cork board, or even on the back of a closet door. Start dreaming! Inspire your self for greater achievements and things to accomplish and strive for. Start with a picture of the new car you want to buy in the future, a picture of your dream vacation cottage garden or neighbourhood you want to move to. Start encouraging yourself to think outside the box. Get your dreams out of your head and right in front of you. Create a visual aspiration board that keeps you driven, motivated and focused to striving for more. You CAN go further in every facet of your life Dream Bigger, Try Harder and Get More Out of Life !!

Is there anybody else thinking about their upcoming summer travel plans? Its hard to get excited for a vacation with all the January bills getting you down Instead of stressing, make a plan to get your finances on track this year. ... In my new book How to Retire Debt Free & Wealthy I included an entire section on how to eliminate debt and create a CORE financial plan to build future wealth. Use the Cash Tracker as well as the Finance Trackers to sort out your expenses and track your spending. Like any change we attempt in life, stay motivated. Try to create a single-minded resolve to meet your new goals this year. Remember that money in retirement is the byproduct of a well thought out successful plan. Keep planning! Adjust your plan and your goals as you encounter changes in your life, but always keep your eyes on the target. Youll get there sooner than you think. Have a wonderful Tuesday!

From my Instagram @askthemoneylady !!! The new version of my book How to Retire Debt Free and WEALTHY will hit the shelves of a bookstore near you on JANUARY 31st!! Thanks Nimbus Publishing and Vagrant Press
