Personal finance budgeting for retirement

Are you thinking about your retirement even though you're no where near ready to retire? Many people are and they're doing things now that help them save money, keep more of their money, reducing their credit card debt, downsizing their homes, living with less and surviving while thriving with more, well less really!

Writing as Part of My Retirement Journey

I have several ways that I'm earning money on my way to my retirement - that's one reason it's a journey for me. I don't see retirement as a way to stop working all together. I like work, I like to stay busy, I like lots of different things and writing is one I'm sure I'll try to do always for as long as I can see, type and comprehend!

Time Flies When You're Downsizing

It sure doesn't seem like over a month since our last post here on our journey to retirement but, that's part of the journey! Working, cleaning, organizing, decluttering, job searching, writing, selling and downsizing are all items that need taken care of and what's been keeping us busy. Let's get busy sharing ideas on how to downsize:

Starting our downsizing project:

Getting ready to retire - one way to save money

As part of our journey to retirement, we're looking for ways to save money so that we can retire earlier, Yes? Of course that's part of the plan. The more we can save on our everyday household needs and stash more of our income into our various retirement plan accounts the faster we'll reach our goals.

Think, Write, Retire Sounds Right up my Alley!

Think, Write, Retire sounds like just what I need and want for my journey to retirement!

Retirement doesn't and won't come easy but, you can keep doing what you're doing and have to wait to retire well into your 70's like most people or you could do something differently and get there years ahead of schedule. Check it out here and see if you agree!

Learning about stocks and trading for my retirement portfolio

Learning more about stocks and trading, adding value to my retirement portfolio is what I wanted to make a quick post about today.

I want most of my retirement journey to be in my home business and my writing business but, recognize that's it's definitely not smart ot put all my eggs in one basket.

Retire in Great Shape!

It's time for a daily workout - there's no sense preparing for retirement if we won't be in the best shape possible, right!? We want to be in great shape financially but, physically is just as important and maybe even more so....

Yoga for me, what about a little for you too. Do you already do some yoga? Or do you have another exercise that you prefer?  Even beginners can do and enjoy Yoga without hurting or straining yourself. Check it out here!

Yoga helps me to stretch out all my extremities to loosen them up, elongate my body, increase my flexibility and it really feels great especially after long hours on the computer creating my journey to retirement! Yoga helps to reduce stress too. So, if you're getting worried about anything happening in your life right now get started on some yoga stretching moves. Yoga feels amazing!

So, I'll be putting on my yoga outfit, getting my yoga mat and yoga ball while I pop in a DVD to do at least one session of stretching exercises. I hope you'll join me today and do your own workout. It doesn't take long to do and you're worth spending 20-30 minutes on, aren't you!! YES, YOU ARE!

Later, I'll be working on sharing a list of writing sites that I use and love so that you can check them out, see if you like them, maybe incorporate one or two of them into your own retirement plan too.

Always remember, don't leave all your eggs in one basket - we never know when one site, one job or one of anything will be here today and gone tomorrow.

Until next time, thanks for reading and taking the time to make a comment!
