What specific question do you have or what issues are of concern to you?
I would like to go part-time in 4 years time but am constantly worried about how we will survive when we retire. We will sell our family home before I am 60 (dependent on market conditions) and move to our 2nd property. We still need to fund college and my greatest worry is healthcare and nursing home funding in later life.
I would love to talk to a professional who could help, but wonder if they are all so focused on selling me something that the advice will be poor?
We are breaking even right now because we go on regular holidays and tend to have a great lifestyle – but I feel the time has come to start budgeting for the much longer term.
