Packed full of twists and turns, every discovery brings either confusion or clarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it doesn\u2019t have to be a frightening foray. In fact, this is an exciting time to dream big and make plans. Let\u2019s dive into a few questions as you calculate and save. As we lean on God, He\u2019ll give us wisdom and understanding for the journey ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much do I need to retire?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The age-old question is often \u201c<em>How much should I save for retirement<\/em>?\u201d But financial planning for retirement isn\u2019t a \u201cone size fits all\u201d approach. How much you need depends on multiple factors, the most important being your current financial state and future long-term goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every individual will have a different definition of what success looks like. As you consider how much you need to retire, it\u2019s necessary to evaluate your goals before making any big decisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few quick questions to write down and answer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What does financial wellness look like in my life?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What\u2019s my big-picture vision for retirement?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have I considered all my healthcare options?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How should I plan for any medical bill costs that might arise?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What retirement benefits do I need?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How much do I currently have in retirement savings?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Evaluating these questions is a great first step to deciding how you can reach your financial retirement goals. As you write out your answers, consider connecting with a professional financial advisor. They\u2019ll be able to speak into your specific situation and provide you with advice for practical next steps. You can also learn more about financial stability for retirement through outlets like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ramseysolutions.com\/retirement?srsltid=AfmBOoqP7lrMLYP0zJ4Cdy6W7zHPPa359G4BtkAF1LUUeFYgNzfYBtTl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dave Ramsey<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-offwhite-background-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-constrained wp-block-column-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-source-serif-font-family has-medium-font-size\">Retiring from your career doesn&#8217;t mean that you&#8217;re retired from God&#8217;s purpose. Being prepared puts you one step ahead.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-constrained wp-block-column-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to do in retirement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After thinking about your big-picture vision, it\u2019s important to nail down your practical goals and consider what you want to do in retirement. Opportunities are endless!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few quick questions to get your brainstorm going:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What does retirement mean in terms of rest?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What does retirement mean in terms of <a href=\"https:\/\/chministries.org\/blog\/pursuing-your-vocation\/\">vocation<\/a>?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What does \u201cliving comfortably\u201d look like to you?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What does it mean to live a healthy lifestyle or pursue good <a href=\"https:\/\/chministries.org\/blog\/healthy-eating\/\">nutrition<\/a>?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are there any new adventures you\u2019d like to pursue?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is there a ministry opportunity or God-given dream you\u2019ve wanted to chase?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What priorities matter most to you?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>God has given each of us unique gifts and talents, and retirement planning doesn\u2019t leave those behind! Retiring from your career doesn\u2019t mean that you\u2019re retired from God\u2019s purpose. In fact, now is a great time to devote talents and resources to what matters most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you consider what to do, remember that life is an adventure meant to be lived in step with Christ. God knows what dreams are in your heart, and He is <a href=\"https:\/\/chministries.org\/blog\/finding-god-faithful\/\">faithful<\/a> to guide you in wisdom. You have unique opportunities to serve your family, friends, and church with the insight, perspective, and encouragement He provides along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Healthcare in retirement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After deciding on your vision and goals, it\u2019s important to consider healthcare options. While retirement planning does involve the typical day-to-day finances, healthcare costs are a major factor for financial well-being. Being prepared puts you one step ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With inflation and the increasing cost of healthcare, medical bills can add up. No matter what your current health status is, it\u2019s a wise idea to set aside savings dedicated to your physical care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Look at your Medicare options and talk through your needs. It\u2019s important to know, too, that while Medicare Parts A and B (or a Medicare Advantage Plan) typically covers most of your healthcare costs, it\u2019s not uncommon for seniors to find themselves with large amounts of unpaid medical bills. Consider additional options that can take care of extra medical costs in case an illness or injury were to arise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a few questions to consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How much do I have set aside for healthcare costs?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Would an additional option be beneficial for me?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Can this option work well with my Medicare coverage?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is it comprehensive enough for my needs?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Will it help take care of any large medical bills that I might not anticipate?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Does this option provide me with a solution that aligns with my faith?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With so many voices in the healthcare marketplace, it can be hard to decide what makes sense for you and your needs. That\u2019s why CHM created a program just for retirement-age members: <a href=\"https:\/\/chministries.org\/program\/?program_id=48\">CHM SeniorShare\u2122<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have Medicare Parts A and B (or a Medicare Advantage Plan), you\u2019re eligible for our comprehensive CHM program at a senior-friendly price. It\u2019s a great way to lift the burden of eligible medical bills not paid by Medicare. Plus, it\u2019s a fantastic complement that gives extra peace of mind in your retirement planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Retirement calculator<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After identifying your vision, setting up a plan for your goals, and selecting healthcare options, it\u2019s time to calculate what works best for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not one-size-fits-all\u2014it\u2019s always a good idea to consult with a professional for advice that\u2019s specific to your needs. Additionally, comprehensive retirement calculators can give you a big-picture look at your finances as you step into discussions with your financial advisor, friends, or family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you figure out how your healthcare costs might look, CHM has a nifty new tool! <a href=\"https:\/\/chministries.org\/health-insurance-comparison\/\">Check out our comprehensive cost calculator<\/a> and compare traditional insurance costs to CHM programs. Whether you\u2019re evaluating Medicare options or another cost-sharing service, you\u2019ll be able to see how the savings stack up against CHM. It\u2019s a great way to look at how a program like CHM SeniorShare\u2122 can equip you with flexibility in finances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Calculators can save you time spent crunching the numbers on your own. Suppose you\u2019re looking to evaluate savings and explore what your investments could look like in the future. In that case, Dave Ramsey provides a retirement calculator that can help you analyze the numbers and think about the next steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter where your journey to retirement takes you, you can rest easy knowing that God is with you every step of the way. Take heart and embrace the adventure ahead!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile has-secondary-background-color has-background\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);margin-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);margin-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);grid-template-columns:34% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"791\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/chministries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/MicrosoftTeams-image-9-791x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3452 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chministries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/MicrosoftTeams-image-9-791x1024.png 791w, https:\/\/chministries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/MicrosoftTeams-image-9-232x300.png 232w, https:\/\/chministries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/MicrosoftTeams-image-9-768x994.png 768w, https:\/\/chministries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/MicrosoftTeams-image-9-1187x1536.png 1187w, https:\/\/chministries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/MicrosoftTeams-image-9.png 1275w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 791px) 100vw, 791px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Download your free Entrepreneurial Spirit eBook.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As a current or budding entrepreneur, you know you have a God-given dream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This ebook has the tools for the path ahead as you continue to step out with your startup.
