3 Tips to Improve Your Saving for Retirement (Even it Seems Tough)

It’s true that saving for retirement especially if you haven’t given it much thought becomes twice as difficult as you near the day when you quit work. And which is why the advice that it’s never too late to start doesn’t make sense at all.

Most experts have reached a conclusion that when you start to save after 35, the task becomes increasingly difficult.

While it goes without saying that you need to cut down on your expenses, here are 3 other things that you should consider doing:

#1: Think About Working Part-Time in Retirement

Most retirees lose the will to live once they stop working. Not only will getting a part-time gig reduce the dent to your savings but will also help you stay social and keep you mentally and physically active.

#2: Read “Your Money or your Life”

Written by Vicki Robin and Joe Dominguez, this book focuses on reducing expenditure and maximizing saving and income as much as possible. While you might not want to follow all the steps, it still is a good idea to give it a read. You might get more out of the book than you think.

#3: Stay on the lookout for better job prospects

In particular, look for jobs that offer a work retirement savings plan or as is the norm, a 401k plan. This will boost your retirement savings substantially and should be the reason why you stay on the lookout if your current job doesn’t offer the same. Better still, if you need extra training be sure to get it – as that can change your Life for the better, in more ways than one.
