Plan for the party and the price tag! The Budget Planning Guide for Women

July 13, 2015 by Marcia Mantell

Your Budget Planning Guide is a great place to start thinking about all you will do in retirement and how much it will cost.

Women can plan the best parties, host terrifically fun family get-togethers and make the holidays memorable for one and all.  There is no reason to think we’ll be doing anything less in retirement. But, we need to plan for more than the party.  Take a look at the free budget planning guide developed for just how women think about their lives and families.

Furthermore, as we think about all that we’ll do in retirement, it’s critical to get a handle on how much all of those activities will cost.

Spend some time thinking about each month and what you do for your friends and family. And how much it really costs.  There is nothing wrong with continuing the traditions or starting new ones. The bottom line is you’ll just need to know how much to budget for the fun.

Download the “Budget Planning Guide.” Jot down some of your initial thoughts and estimated costs.  As you get closer to retirement, you’ll need to be a little more detailed in your estimates.  But for now, it’s important to just get started.

In addition, women control spending on a global level. Nearing $25 Trillion in the next few years. Read this Harvard review to see how powerful our spending might be.

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.

More coming soon…
