Retirement is probably the furthest thing from your mind, especially if you are in your 40's or 50's, however it is never too early to begin thinking about and planning for your retirement.
Now I am all for living in the now, I do not believe in living in the past or the future, today is where we are and we need to be able to savour and experience the best that life has to offer. That is why it is so important to begin thinking about the future in a small way so that when you do retire you will continue to enjoy and savour life and get the best out of this time.
I have no intention of 'retiring' as in giving up work in the traditional sense when I reach my 60's (Iam now in my late(ish) 40's), and like the new wave of retirees intend to work to some degree as long as possible so that I can still contribute, feel productive and feel good in and about myself. That's my choice, there may be others to do want to retire in the traditional sense and be able to have as much leisure and free time as possible. However, what we each choose to do is not what's important, it's whether or not we prepare so that whatever we want retirement to look or feel like for us will become a reality
