I recently read a study that said a nurse’s concern for the welfare of others isn’t just professional. Nurses constantly put their families’ needs above their own—including when it comes to money. The study found that many nurses are taken aback when they are encouraged to fund their retirement accounts before spending money on their kids and grandkids.
Life is unpredictable, is it not? But just because we don’t always know what’s around the corner doesn’t mean we can’t prepare for an unexpected future. Trust me, I’m telling you this from personal experience!
Are you approaching retirement but worried you aren’t meeting your savings goals? If so, you’re not alone. Over the course of their careers, many nurses find themselves balancing student loan repayment with saving for the future, often sacrificing retirement savings to pay the student loan bills that arrive in the mailbox (or inbox) every month.
Are you considering retiring early? With everything that healthcare workers have had to deal with this past year, we don’t blame you if you’re wondering about what it takes to retire sooner rather than later. The good news is, you’re not alone. According to one study, more than half of Americans plan to retire before the age of 65.
If you’re a nurse in Denver, we want to thank you. You’re a hero in our community, and we appreciate the service and care you provide each and every day, especially over the past year.
At just 10 years old, my parents introduced me to the world of finance with an allowance of 30 cents a week. They taught me three basic principles: save some, give some, spend some. I never could have guessed that these lessons would shape me into who I am today, and be my first steps down the path toward a lifelong career.
