5 Common Myths About Retirement Planning
Retirement planning can be surrounded by myths and misconceptions. Here are five common myths and the truth behind them.
1.Myth 1: You Need €1 Million to Retire
The amount you need for retirement depends on your lifestyle, expenses, and income sources. While €1 million is a common benchmark, individual needs vary greatly.
2.Myth 2: Social Security Will Cover All Your Needs
Social Security is designed to supplement your retirement income, not replace it. Most people will need additional savings or income sources.
3.Myth 3: You Can Start Saving Later
The earlier you start saving for retirement, the more time your money has to grow. Delaying savings can make it difficult to reach your goals.
4.Myth 4: Retirement Means Stopping Work Completely
Many retirees choose to work part-time or start new ventures during retirement. Retirement doesn't have to mean the end of earning income.
5.Myth 5: Retirement Planning Is Only About Money
