Top 3 Financial Mistakes to Avoid As You Age
As you age, saving for retirement and making good investments becomes more and more
important. It’s common to make financial mistakes, but avoiding common mistakes can help you
maximize your retirement savings and crush your financial goals. These are the top three
financial mistakes to avoid as you age.
Invest and Track Your Investments:
In order to retire and in order to retire well, you need to invest your savings. It isn’t enough to
save money and tuck it away into a savings account. It needs to be invested so that it can grow
and provide you with greater returns that you can then use to retire in old age. As you continue
to earn more and grow in your profession, you want to make sure that you are continually re-
evaluating your investments and putting more money away.
Your retirement goals are also likely to change as you age and it is important to not only invest,
but to also track your investments. Know what your rate of return is and know how much you
have in your investment accounts. Set an annual date to review your investments and make
decisions about your current investments. If it’s difficult to review your investments on your own,
work with a financial consultant every few years to get advice and tailor your financial
investments towards your financial goals.
Buying More Than You Can Afford:
This may seem like a no-brainer but many people purchase a larger home or a more expensive
car than they actually need. They want to keep up with everyone else and so they spend more
to have flashier, more exciting homes and cars that they cannot afford. The same can be said
for clothing, vacation travel, furniture, and other home or beauty products. Create a budget and
work to stay within it. Make sure that your budget allows you to save and invest.
Living Without Insurance:
Too many people gloss over insurance and consider it something that they can deal with later.
They will “get around to it,” but in reality most never do. Insurance is vital. While many people do
get health insurance, they do not take the time to ensure that they choose a health insurance
plan that has enough coverage for their lifestyle or age.
Many people forget to check their home insurance and life insurance as well to ensure that they
have the appropriate insurance for their needs. Too often, we see people find themselves in bad
situations. When they look to their insurance after something happens, they find out that their
insurance does not cover their situation. Be proactive and review your insurances: home or
renter’s insurance, health insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, and even pet
insurance.
Remember, it is never too late to begin making good financial decisions. However, the earlier
you begin making good decisions, the better your financial future will be. If you are currently
making any of these three common financial mistakes, course correct and fix these mistakes as
quickly as possible. You owe it to yourself to have a secure future free of financial woes.
