If you think your biggest regret in retirement is going to be spending too much, then I have news

for you in today's video. We reached out to thousands of people to collect their responses about their

biggest retirement regrets, and we heard back with wonderful feedback from 909 people. Some of the

regrets that these people share have to do with finances, but many of them did not. It has to do with

purpose, how you spend your time, unexpected costs, things of that nature.

And in today's video, I'm going to share with you the real feedback we heard from 909 people,

the regrets they have, and the advice they would have given to their younger selves,

so that you can take this and apply it as you prepare for your retirement.

So here's the advice we received from people who have actually done it, who have actually retired. The first piece is that working longer is not necessarily

safer. How many of us have been caught up in that? We run projections. We see here's the impact

of one more year of work, max out my 401k, one more year, paying into Social Security one more year,

and on paper it has tremendous benefits.

We see what that does to our long-term financial projections. But here's the thing. That money is

pointless if it's not helping us fund the type of life we want to fund. In that life that we want to

fund, so much of it has the potential to pass us by if we're not able to appreciate the opportunity

in front of us. In other words,

I've seen far too many people work too long trying to maximize the financial side of things

that life has passed them by. This was a common regret people shared and therefore a common

piece of advice is working longer isn't necessarily safer. Sure, there's positive financial

benefits to it, but are you missing out

on life by doing so? Are you missing out on your youth, your health, your vigor, your ability

to do the things you actually want to do in retirement because you keep pushing retirement off?
