PLANNING FOR RETIREMENT

by Shane Conroy | Oct 12, 2022


The stock market is a topic of conversation in many circles. Whether discussing market ups and downs with friends or getting the latest stock tip from your uncle, market involvement varies among all of us. With the recent one-way traffic for bears these past couple of months, the market has been more of a conversation than usual for many.

Timing the market can be difficult for the seasoned veteran, and more difficult for those of us who don’t know all the ins and outs. And while navigating the world of finance can be daunting, that doesn't mean you should be on the sidelines when it comes to planning for retirement.

GCSAA recognizes that planning for retirement can be challenging. Whether you are an 18-year-old student member or entering your eighteenth year of being a CGCS, it’s never too early — or late — to begin planning for retirement. With that in mind, we want to ensure each member has the resources they need to prepare for their future.

12. Retirement resources

GCSAA’s Retirement Resources page is your first stop to ensure you have what you need in place when you make the leap to retirement. From checklists to calculators and recent commentary on the market, the Retirement Resources page has what you need to get started on your path to financial freedom when you are no longer working.

GCSAA members also receive discounted retirement services through Creative Planning.

Again, it’s never too late to start the retirement planning process and I hope you can take advantage of the resources available to you as a GCSAA member. Here’s to a 20-year bull run!

As always, if you've missed a post, you can check them out below:
