In its traditional form, retirement is your time to enjoy the benefits of financial security. You can live your life comfortably, without a job that dominates your time.
Of course, that traditional, carefree retirement isn't an easy thing to create. Most people must spend decades building up their financial security to support the retirement they want. And through that process, it's common to lose focus and take financial detours you will later regret.
The good news is, there's a reliable way to stay focused and minimize those detours: setting goals. Commit to a few long-term goals now and you start laying the groundwork for financial security in retirement.
Read on for 10 financial goals designed to deliver that carefree retirement you deserve.
