It’s never too soon to start saving for retirement. The sooner you start, the less money you may need to save each month as it has more chance to grow. That brings you a step closer to the retirement you desire.
The first step is planning and figuring out what your priorities are. Some questions are very broad.
- When do you want to retire?
- What will you do? Would you like to move or to travel?
- Will you have enough money to allow more choices?
Other questions are more specific.
- What bills will you still have?
- What’s the best time to start claiming social security, especially if you’re married and your spouse is a different age?
- What investment types are best for you?
Don’t know where to begin? Let the Lowell Five Banking team and Lincoln Investment* help you.
Retirement Planning and Financial Modeling
The first step in retirement planning is figuring out where you are on the journey.
Start with a financial wellness check from KAF Wealth Management, LLC.* Their experienced financial planners can advise you on investments, retirement planning and more.

Starting a Plan
This process starts with listening and building trust. The experienced financial planning team will gather information to understand your financial life, goals, and risk tolerance. This will allow the team to find opportunities to improve your financial standing and result in a plan to help serve you and your family. Financial Modeling will assess your current situation and project if you have enough savings, insurance or healthcare coverage as well.
A retirement plan should give you the ability to retire when you choose. It will outline strategies to help you build and sustain assets to allow for more income in retirement and a more comfortable future.
