Retirement Homes & Family Memories: Enjoy your retirement plans today
While starting to save for retirement at an early age has always been a good idea, the emphasis has typically been on personal savings accounts such as 401k’s and IRA’s. But some savvy investors are rethinking that idea and planning for their retirement by purchasing lakefront homes and other unique properties. Just like stock investments, there’s no guarantee the properties will offer any financial returns, but buyers are motivated by other benefits: spending time with their families, creating memories today that will last a lifetime, and owning something tangible that they’ll be able to use for years to come.
Jeff D. Opdyke explores this new trend in his Wall Street Journal article, “Buying a Retirement Home Decades Before You Retire.”
