Time goes by quicker than we may realize it and before you know it you are heading for your third trimester and planning your retirement party at work, but have you given thought to what you might do once the sound of clinking glasses, cheering, and well wishes subside and suddenly it’s the next day and you don’t have to go into the office?
You ideally want to look forward to lazy days in the garden with the family, sipping iced tea and soaking up the sun, but could you do that if you are worried about future finances? Don’t leave these things to the last minute, it puts you and everyone close to you under stress and could be a tough period to adjust to.
Take a moment to consider your options, what are they, are they manageable, achievable, and how will you get the ball rolling to begin a savings or investment account. The most important aspect is that you are conscious of this necessity and are forming a plan of action to be as financially secure as you can afford for the future.
Investment.
The world of banking, corporations, and large conglomerates are all trying to win you over with their fancy worded adverts and campaigns each claiming to be better and have the most appealing rates should you opt to open an account with them. You need to write down your objectives, end goals, and what you want to get out in return for this commitment, once you have that you can begin your research while narrowing it down to firms that suit your interests.
There are plenty of options when it comes to investments and put money aside for retirement or even simply a rainy day, even a university fund for the children and grandchildren. Some people don’t have the patience to look further than simply putting their money into a regular account and accumulate if any, interest on the balance.
Others put their money into stocks and bonds which offer a greater return than a regular bank account but have the downside of the financial markets fluctuating at any given time, thus making it not as sought after when it comes to needing a large sum of money in an emergency or easily accessible.
What you want to look at is what is known as a gold retirement option, whereby you invest in precious metals that you purchase at your leisure and according to your financial capabilities, and add to it as you become more comfortable or with the end of year bonuses.
This way you build a future based on your efforts, and because metals such as silver and gold have been around for centuries and don’t rely on trades, their value never decreases. If you need to sell a piece of gold for whatever reason then you will more than likely make a profit on your sale, if not then at least the asking price but rarely will you sell undervalue.
The importance of planning for the future.
If you were a professional athlete you wouldn’t attend a sporting competition without having trained for months even years beforehand to be your best, the same applies to securing a comfortable and safe future.
Looking forward doesn’t necessarily need to be daunting, if you begin one step at a time before you know it your nest egg will have accumulated a decent sum of funds and you can breathe easy.
Many business owners highly recommend starting some form of savings, no matter the method, as early as you financially can and as you progress in your career and life you can increase the installments or consider a variety of investments, the main objective is to get the ball rolling. Read an interesting article here https://www.fool.com/investing/2018/04/22/whats-the-best-age-to-start-investing.aspx that explains the ins and outs of why it is vital to make some form of savings plan and how best to go about it.
- Making your money work for you and not only the other way around allows you to get money back when or if you need it. An investment in property for example could mean that as you get older you and your partner opt to downsize, this profit of sale then leaves a comfortable bonus for you to live safely and securely on as you enjoy your golden years.
- The main objective of planning is to not get caught off guard, and even more so when you are in your retirement years and suddenly you need to scramble looking for a part-time job. Make your money create and build a secure financial future for you and your family.
- Believe it or not many people claim to feel completely free once they leave the constraints of the 9 to 5 workweek and can sit back and enjoy what all those years of hard work were for. If you are financially stable you don’t need to rely on anyone or be tied for the next few years to a loan.

Never underestimate the power of starting, going slow is still going.
