Whether you have already retired or are planning on doing so soon, one thing is for certain in that you are probably carefully considering your finances.  To ensure a comfortable retirement, there are certain common financial mistakes you should be aware of and do everything you can to avoid them.

In a recent article in the San Diego Union Tribune, writer, Dave Carpenter provides seven mistakes that retirees often make and gives tips and suggestions on how to avoid them.  The seven mistakes listed are:

  1. Being conservative with money.
  2. Putting off planning.
  3. Bailing out kids.
  4. Paying too much in taxes.
  5. Using advice from friends.
  6. Ignoring health costs.
  7. Underestimating life expectancy.

Testimonials

We met Troy at an open house several years ago and liked him right away. He was the natural choice when we decided to sell our house. He is patient, thorough and is good at explaining options. Our situation was complicated for a number of reasons--a big one was that we had moved out of state--but he and his crew were very organized with all the virtual paperwork and made the experience as painless as possible. We would definitely recommend him!

–Linda T.

Troy and Daniel are an excellent realty team. They helped me with the purchase of my short sale Hillcrest property and the sale of my Mission Valley condo. Thanks so much.
