Retirement Planning
It is a great idea to start planning your finances for when you retire. Retirement planning essentially means you decide what type of lifestyle you want when you are done working, before you retire, and making sure you have a plan in place to financially pay for your lifestyle.

How much do you need to retire?
That all depends on the type of lifestyle you want. If you are content in the house you have and your passion is gardening, you may not need a lot of money to sustain that lifestyle. If you like to travel and want to own a few properties around the world, then you will likely need more money to sustain that lifestyle. So it's really all about what you want.
