Discover how to build wealth in your 50s in just two sessions

Written by FEN | April 04, 2022

Many people think of wealth-building as a youth pursuit. It’s true that investments made early will grow exponentially (which is why wealth accumulation works best as a long-term project). However, your peak earning years happen later in life, and are an optimal period for making sensible investments, stamping out debts, and topping up pension accounts.

You can discover how to build wealth in your 50s and create a comfortable financial cushion for retirement and beyond. But where to start? There’s a lot to learn. Investment advisors recommend looking further into proven strategies for maximizing your personal wealth, such as:

  • Maxing out your higher caps on contributions to 401(k), 403(b), SARSEP, and 457(b)
  • Taking advantage of catch-up contributions to Roth or Traditional IRAs
  • Clearing out remaining debts (mortgage, student loans, vehicle payments, etc.)
  • Reviewing your investment portfolio to reduce risk and insulate against market volatility
  • Planning ahead for a long retirement so you don’t outlive your retirement funds

You’ll be best equipped to tackle these and other financial matters with the guidance of an experienced financial professional, but there are certainly lessons you can take with you and handle on your own. It’s easy to get started on the right path in as few as two sessions of a financial education course on how to build wealth in your 50s.
