How long will your retirement last? While none of us can see the future, many of us tend to underestimate how long we’ll be retired. This is partly because we might not have a clear picture of today’s longer life expectancy - life spans tend to increase by about three years with each generation. And as a result, it’s easy to misjudge just how much we’ll need for a comfortable retirement. Surprisingly, many people also overestimate the amount they’ve saved for retirement. Together, these financial blind spots can create real challenges when it comes to preparing for the future. And those aren’t the only misconceptions that may be affecting your retirement plan.

Talking about money with loved ones isn’t easy.

Mental blocks, subconscious taboos, and various sensitivities can come into play when conversations about finance come up.

As challenging as that can be, some simple, yet thoughtful, conversation starters can help break the ice and set the stage for more productive talks about money.

When was the last time you stopped at McDonald’s?

What about Taco Bell, Chipotle, or Jimmy John’s?

If it’s been a while, your next fast food bill could be shocking.

That’s because these restaurants have doubled or even tripled their prices in recent years.

So, it’s now double-digit prices for Big Macs, burritos, and other fast food.

When will it stop and how far can it go?

”As for the future, your task is not to foresee it but to enable it.”

– Antoine de Saint Exupéry

What does your “ideal life” look like? Seriously, imagine it. The house. The city. The people. How long has it been since you allowed your mind to wander into the realm of possibility?

Simply remembering what makes you happy. What you believe in. What inspires you. I hope it hasn’t been long. But if you’re like most of us––you’re always on the go and distracted, leaving pie-in-the-sky time as a low-rung priority.
