Boomers and Automation: 10 Financial Tasks to Automate

January 30, 2019 by Marcia Mantell

Did you know that once you pay off your mortgage, you’re responsible for making those pesky property tax payments on your own?  And, once your paycheck stops, the IRS will want you to make estimated tax payments.  They have “quirky quarters” and missing even one of the deadlines spells interest and penalties for you.  In fact, there are ways to prepare for these sticky situations that will pop up during retirement. Take a few minutes to find out more about 10 financial tasks to automate to make life easier.

Keeping up with all the financial moving parts in retirement, between trips to exotic places and fun with family and friends, is not always so easy.  Or what you want to be doing.  The answer:  boomers and automation.

Boomers Embrace Technology

Lots of Baby Boomers (those of us born from 1946 – 1964) did not grown up with a PC on our desk or an iPad in our cribs.  Yet, we’ve embraced new technology and sure spend a lot on it.  Some of the younger folks call us Boomers “technology immigrants”.  What?  We invented the technology!

But, on the edge of tech enthusiasm is a concern about privacy and cybersecurity risks.  They are real risks, but they shouldn’t deter you from automating many of your financial tasks.  Once you set up these important reminders, you should find comfort in knowing you won’t miss a payment or deadline.

Retirement Daily – A Resource for Boomers

Occasionally, I have the good fortune to be a guest contributor for selected retirement publications.  To kick off 2019, I wrote an article for Retirement Daily, the new retirement arm of The Street’s franchise.  You’ll need to be a subscriber to read all of the tips and information out there. But for now, you can search on RetirementDaily.net for my article:  10 Financial Tasks Baby Boomers Should Automate in the New Year.

What’s Cookin’?

If your kitchen is anything like mine, it’s the place everyone gathers to talk about their day, share special moments, and ask important questions. And to see what’s cooking.

For me, there is a strong connection between preparing meals and planning retirement. Both need certain ingredients, recipes to follow, and getting the timing just right.

My motto to live by: If you can make a lasagna, you can create a plan for retirement.

Look for an invitation to join me at my kitchen table where retirement is always on the menu.
