If retirement is getting closer, it can be hard to know what you should actually be doing — and when. In this video, I walk through a simple 5-year retirement countdown: what to focus on 5 years before retirement, 4 years before, 3 years before, 2 years before, and in your final year before you leave work. We’ll talk about the financial retirement income plan, practical, and personal steps that can make retirement feel much less overwhelming — from checking your numbers and reducing debt to thinking through healthcare, income, lifestyle, and what you actually want retirement to look like. If you’re within 5 years of retirement, this video will help you build a clearer plan and avoid leaving important decisions until the last minute. If you enjoy practical retirement advice and real-life ideas for making retirement remarkable, I’d love to have you subscribe to Life Starts at Retirement. #retirementplanning #retirementchecklist #retirementtips #retiringsoon #lifestartsatretirement","meta_description":"Effective retirement planning should begin at least 5 years before you actually retire.
