Retirement is an exciting milestone that’s decades in the making, but it also requires a tremendous amount of planning. Simply winging it by saving what you can and hoping for the best may or may not work out in your favor, and if you don’t have enough saved to last through retirement, you could be in trouble.
Even if you do have a specific retirement number in mind and know how much you should be saving, forgetting to plan for certain expenses can wreck your retirement roadmap.
