Your 50s

During your fifth decade, you reflect on where life has taken you – and where you are heading in the future. You may stand at the cross roads, thinking about a new career, hobby, or volunteer opportunity – or you may be just trying to hold on, due to your debt level or a serious health condition.

What do you want to do – or think you have to do – before retiring? Will you retire in your mid 60s, later, or not at all? Will you have enough savings to retire? Will your health hold up in the years ahead?

We want to help you explore what your faith may be saying to you about the financial side of these questions.

Now, you may want to start that business, downsize your home, or go back to school – or just figure out if you have the savings to retire some day! But, hey, you’re old enough by now – and realistic enough –to know there’s a financial impact to the choices ahead which can affect your future and your loved ones. MMA can help steer you through the confusing financial maze of saving, investing, or even estate planning issues to clearly see your financial situation and what it might be down the road – so you can make informed decisions that reflect your faith values.

It’s often helpful to know that others are facing the same issues as you. Find your place in the MMA Community and discover e-newsletters, news, and daily stewardship tips in the MMA Community section.
