In a recent blog, Rob West of FaithFi shares the following:
Planning for retirement can be overwhelming, especially when the future seems uncertain. The latest Retirement Confidence Survey shows that while confidence is rising, many are still unprepared—43% of workers over 55 have saved less than $100,000. If you’ve ever felt unsure about your retirement, you’re not alone.
Many workers plan to retire later or continue working part-time, yet nearly half of retirees leave the workforce earlier than expected, often due to health issues. So, how can we prepare wisely for the future?
Run the numbers: Use a retirement calculator to understand how much you’ll need and adjust your plan accordingly.
Understand Social Security: Review your benefits and know how the timing of your claims can affect your financial situation.
Eliminate debt: If possible, aim to pay off your mortgage before retirement to ease financial pressure.
As believers, we’re called to steward our resources wisely. Retirement planning isn’t just about securing our financial future—it’s about aligning our decisions with God’s purpose for our lives. By taking practical steps today, we can move forward with confidence, trusting that God will provide as we make faithful and intentional choices.
