How to Tell If You're Ready to Retire

Despite what it may seem like after seeing the news or spending a few minutes on your favorite social media site, we live in amazing times. This is especially true for many Americans who are approaching retirement age, who will live longer, more active lives than any prior generation.

Unfortunately, far too many individuals won't retire at the best time. That decision could have major repercussions on the quality of their lives and can impact family members who may have to care for and support them later in life, while also affecting society by putting more pressure on government resources to bridge the gap for the most at-risk of our seniors.
