Ah\\u2026Retirement\\u2026Sounds like a great time of our life - kind of an endless vacation\\u2026right? We wait for the day we don\\u2019t have to sit in rush hour traffic, deal with a boss that is less than desirable, and are able to play golf, sit on a beach, or travel.

But getting there takes some doing! Are you prepared to enter retirement and live the same lifestyle as you do now or the lifestyle you are dreaming about? That\\u2019s a big question to ask ourselves! If we do not prepare we may not be able to retire at all. Or retire with being able to have fun, relax and enjoy! Don\\u2019t stress!

We have an expert today who is going to demystify retirement, share some tips and explain how to avoid pitfalls to allow for better preparation.
