Building an ‘Ak’éí Emergency Fund By: Delphina Thomas

Many of us want to retire someday. Well, when it comes to preparing for this transition, consider these five factors you may not have thought about. They can play a big role in meeting your retirement goals.

1. Cost of living in your retirement destination
2. Part time work during retirement
3. Lower housing costs, higher medical costs
4. Inflation
5. Higher or lower future income tax rates

This week is National Retirement Security Week. According to a 2018 report by the Federal Reserve, 44% of non-retired adults don't think their retirement savings are on track. Make sure that you aren't neglecting your future self, by not saving enough money today.
