How do you define a successful retirement? Planning and thinking ahead can lead to a very active, satisfying life in your retirement years.

Take some time to imagine what your future lifestyle would be like, and then consider these questions:

• Where will you live
• What will you do
• What activities will you participate in
• Will you have enough income to maintain or elevate your current lifestyle
• What can you do now to better position yourself for a successful retirement
• Have you met with a professional who does comprehensive financial planning
• Do you have a written retirement plan, put together specifically for you by a financial professional

Baby boomers are redefining age and retirement. Realizing the retirement you want, starts with your own personalized definition.

Planning for retirement shouldn’t be difficult or painful. It should be a gratifying process knowing that you’ve taken the proper steps to achieve the retirement lifestyle that you’ve dreamed of. The earlier and more carefully you plan, the more likely you are to realize your vision of the future and enjoy yourself when retirement actually comes.
