Stock market risks
Working people play a lot of heed to the stock market. They believe in investing in stocks and shares. But due to the decrease in share prices a person should actually invest money very wisely. Many of the people have gone back to work because of Stock market crisis.
Expected lifespan
A lot of people plan to work after the retirement age because they expect to live to 100 years of age. Due to the increase in longevity and early retirement this is becoming a greater concern for people. You don’t want to run dry when you’re living in an old age home and end up getting kicked out into the street.
Insurance Policy
According to many, life insurance should be bought only when a person needs it. A term insurance is advisable, since an individual will likely not need insurance to take care of their loved ones once they grow up. It is definitely not advisable to cancel all the insurance just because of retirement!
