I look forward to our retirement. I’m not in a rush, of course, but I look forward to it because it’ll be just me and my husband once again. Once in a while we look back at the days when it was just the two of us and sigh at the memories.

Not that we don’t like having children, they are the best thing that ever happened to us and our constant reminder of God’s faithfulness to us and our family.

But I also know that they will grow up and lead their own lives someday, and we are doing everything that we can to help them have stable lives, including in the area of finances.

When that day comes, Jay and I don’t want to be a burden to them. We don’t want them to worry about our finances, we want them to focus on loving their wives, providing for their own families, leading them, raising their children and doing what God has called them to do.

Jay and I learned about managing our finances a little late. But just a few days ago, I came across a retirement plan for people in their mid-40’s and up and that gave me hope.

There is hope!

Which is why I think this webinar, Retire Rich: Financial Planning for Retirement Webinar (Re-run), is a good investment.

Too many times we dream about how we want our future to be, but seldom do we take steps towards those dreams.

As they say, some people dream it, others do it. Which one are you? I sure heck want to be one of the latter.

What will you gain from the webinar?

It’s one thing to want to plan your retirement and another to know how to do it. Retire Rich: Financial Planning for Retirement webinar will cover the hows – how to plan for your retirement, how to build strong financial foundation, how to define proper retirement goals and how to create your investment portfolio for retirement.

This is basically for everyone, not just for couples like us who do not want to wear out our kids in the future. If you’re an Overseas Filipino Worker who want to be with your family sooner, this webinar will teach you how to be able to do that.

And if you’re a young professional, I’m telling you, young people, plan now while you’re young.

Because if you find yourself in the same boat as us — planning our retirement alongside raising a young family, it’s still possible but it’s a whole lot harder.

Too many times we dream about how we

    it is also one my my life goals to retire comfortably and to not be a burden to my son or his siblings {in case I will have more children in the future}. i agree that it is every responsible parent’s aim to plan a good retirement for themselves and their partners, and hopefully, leave something for the children, too, that will help set them up for most of their adult life.

    If only we learned about financial planning earlier, life would have been much better. We started late too but better late than no retirement plan at all, one step at a time :D

    One thing that I need to overcome right now is doubt and fear. Financial education is very important, but the best of it don’t cone free. 1500 may look like a big number but I’m actually considering it since there’s a promise of valuable information from a very reputable person. I will think hard before I decide. Or I’ll take the easy route of borrowing my mom’s credit card. Haha! :)

      Yes, think about it. It is an investment, and in my honest opinion, a good one. :)

    Interesting post! Retirement is one of the important topics my husband and I always forget to discuss about. Thank you reminding me through your post Mommy Mae! Hopefully, I could join the webinar too!

    I was interested in reading it and when I did, I loved it.

    I think I have to set up a new saving plan for me, thank you :)

    Planning for a retirement is really a need as we do not want to see ourselves working until we grow old. As for us, we plan to keep and add more passive income generating projects. We want to travel and spend time with the family instead of working all the time :)

    Its good to plan a retirement while we are young. When the maturity comes we can get enough money to sustain us while we are no longer have income coming in.

      Well, if we pay our taxes, we do have retirement pensions and other senior citizens’ benefits. But if we want to have, not just a convenient life, but a financially stable life that we can really enjoy our remaining years and catch up to the things we had to set aside for family, it’s good to have planned and prepared. The earlier, the better talaga.

    Wow, this is very timely! I was just getting myself into learning more about personal finance. And just this week, I’ve been thinking of starting to save early for a retirement fund. Some people my age would think I’m crazy, but saving 5% to 10% for retirement isn’t that hard especially if one starts early. I read an article detailing how it would be wiser for 20-something yuppies to invest early on, and your post backs it up even more.

    Anyhow, would definitely look into “attending” this webinar. :) Thanks for the heads up!

  11. Sunshine Kelly Avatar

    Yup, I agree. We have to plan our retirement when you are young because we might not know what will happened. Thanks for the information, i will check out Fitz Villafuerte,Ready to be Rich Guide to Investing book.

    Sounds interesting!(: will surely attend one of these days. Really need to plan and secure our future.

    For me, retirement needs planning but you only live once! While working towards the retirement and saving up, we need to learn to enjoy ourselves too!

      That’s where wisdom come in, I suppose. Some people are too extreme. On my part I want to enjoy my children, too, while they are young and still with us, so it’s really a matter of balancing priorities.:)

    My husband and I are in our 20s and we already alloted a fund for retirement. Yes, it’s early but you’ll never know what will happen diba?

    When itcomes to financial planning i’ve always been a little intimidated and anxious.. I could really use this kind of help.. And guidance. Thank you for posting!

    Sure you guys started late, but at least you got to start! A lot of people don’t even think about retirement plans until their 50s!

  17. Raymond Vasquez Avatar

    I’ve just taken action for my future. I’ve just received a confirmation regarding a policy I took for my security and future. Hopefully, I’d be able to fund for each of my children’s education and future. :D Although, I am still single, I am already setting apart something for my future children. When the time comes that the need arises, I’d have something to spend. :D This is a great reminder to be conscious about financial planning.

    It’s really best that we plan our retirement when we are still young so we’ll have more time to save. It’s always never too late to start saving.

    I’ve been really more open to the thought of retirement and seminars like this really helps.

    Somebody said: “The best time to plant a tree was 10 years ago. The is next best time is now. ” I think this applies to retirement planning or financial planning. What you do today will greatly affect your future. But, we also need to balance planning for the future and enjoying today. Sometimes, I can obsess over it and miss what is beautiful today because my mind is on the future.
