How Old Should You Be To Retire {According To Suze Orman}

How To Know When YOU Should Retire

Suze Orman says to figure out your true living expenses, as well as the projected expenses into the future. You’ll have to remember to add in expenses you may not be incurring yet, like medications or help around the house. Also remember to figure in inflation costs of approximately 3% annually. Calculate how your living expenses and income will change if your spouse dies. The bottom line for Ms. Orman is this: if you have enough in your retirement savings to cover your bills now–as well as 30 years from now–you’re ready to retire. If not, keep working and saving.
