Money and Retirement Mistakes

There are a lot of people, who do not save money, spent too much, or do not invest their money properly, and when they grow old, they do not possess enough money to retire and have therefore to continue working into old age. They overlook simple, important facts and therefore ruin their chances to retire.

I have found an interesting and educative article that addresses this issue at Yahoo! Finance. It speaks about the common mistakes people do that prevent them from being able to retire. Acknowledging these mistakes and doing something about them can improve the chances of being able to retire.

8 ways to ruin your chances to retire
By Sheyna Steiner

If 50 is the new 30, then 80 must be the new 60. Good thing, because otherwise a lot of people won’t be retiring before they draw their last breath.

Last year Bankrate’s Financial Literacy survey found that one in five people expect to work until they die. This year one in five people say they’re afraid they’ll never be able to retire. It’s true; we asked the same question two different ways, and the results are unsettlingly identical.

At this rate, the competition for greeting jobs at Wal-Mart will be as fierce as the struggle to get into Harvard.

For the dedicated workers who aspire to devote their entire lives to propelling the economy forward with their unceasing toil, the dream of not retiring can be achieved in any number of ways. We came up with eight.

Attitude Toward Money and How to Change It

By Remez Sasson

Attitude plays an important role in attracting money into your life or driving it away. If you grew in an environment which undermined self-esteem, and lacked motivation or ambition, and if you believe that you don’t deserve to be wealthy or think that money is filthy, you probably feel that you don’t deserve to have enough money, even if you consciously wish you had more.

With a negative attitude toward money, you will not try hard to get it, you won’t pay attention to opportunities, and might even make some errors of judgment that would you cause you to lose money. On the other hand, if your attitude is positive, and you are open and willing to have it in your life, you will attract money into your life in various ways.

Here is an excerpt from the book Visualize and Achieve, addressing the subject of the attitude toward money:

“It is rather funny to hear people say how much they want money and wish they had more, yet, in the deep recesses of their subconscious mind, where it counts most, they repel any opportunity to improve their situation.

It is difficult to attract money, if there is a negative attitude about it. You cannot attract something that deep in your heart you despise. This is a most common attitude for many people. They desire money, but their attitude is negative and therefore repellent. If you want to attract money, you have first to get rid of all negative thoughts and attitude about it. A habit of many years has to change.”

There are several techniques, which can help you change your attitude about money, and one of them is the technique of repeating of affirmations. By repeating affirmations about changing your attitude toward money, your subconscious mind will eventually accept them as true, and a negative attitude will gradually be replaced by a positive attitude.

Here are a few affirmations for achieving a positive attitude toward money:

- “I deserve to possess money.”
- “I have the right to have money.”
- “Money is a useful tool.”
- “Money can improve my life.”
- “I am very comfortable with having money in my account.”
- “Money is following into my life in harmonious ways.”

Visualizing and Attracting Money Into Your Life

By Remez Sasson

People who wish to use the power of visualization to manifest something in their life, often wonder whether to visualize money or the object they wish to have?

If they visualize money, they might get the money, but it doesn’t mean it will be spent on what they want. There might be other needs with higher priority, so they might get they money they visualized, but it is not certain they will get the object they want. In my opinion, it is always better to visualize exactly what you want.

Suppose you desire to travel abroad, what will make you motivated, strengthen your desire, and energize you to do everything you can in order to travel, visualizing getting the money for the trip, or visualizing yourself on the plane, arriving safely, traveling and enjoying the sights and the food, and having a great time?

You can of course visualize and attract money into your life. If you wish just to be financially independent, then it is all right, but if what you wish is a particular object or doing something that requires money, it would be better to visualize your exact desire accomplished. If money is required to make it come true, it will arrive in some way.
