Retirement planning is important, but it's crucial. You ask yourself, what sort of retirement are you envisioning? And that also means what sort of life are you envisioning right now? If you're planning to save a lot of money to do things that you can do when you retire because you can't do them now because you hate what you do now for a living, that's the problem you need to solve, not the problem. Flow retirement. You've got to figure out how to live every single day for maximum fulfillment. Now, having a pot of money after you've used your healthiest years to do something you don't like is not fulfilling. Please follow the TJ Walker habit.
