Why you need a roadmap to retirement
Simply contributing to your retirement account on a regular basis is not sufficient. One element of a comprehensive retirement plan is retirement savings.
You must therefore develop your own retirement plan, which will enable you to construct the future you truly desire. You will have the direction to put the steps and strategies required for all aspects of a successful retirement into action if you have a comprehensive retirement plan.
A timeline, a social security and other retirement income strategy, a projected budget, and a plan for repaying debt are all examples of this. These are just a few of the milestones on your strategies for retirement that you should visit before you stop working.

They are as follows:
1.??????Describe your ideal retirement lifestyle in your vision.
You should be aware that retirement may last for 20 to 30 years. There will be phases in this final season of your life that are more active than others. When your health is at its best and you are able to participate in more activities, consider what you truly want to do. Discuss your strategies for dealing with deteriorating health as you age as well.
2.??????Set up a spending plan for retirement.
Your goals for your post-retirement life are crystal clear. To support your vision, you must now decide on a budget. This will enable you to estimate your yearly costs and the amount of retirement funding you will require. When taking this step, it's imperative that you are as specific and practical as you can. You should probably estimate how much you will need to support your retirement lifestyle if anything.
Based on your budget as of right now, you can make a retirement spending plan.
3.??????On the road to retirement, raise your net worth.
Basically, your net worth is the sum of everything you own minus all of your debts.
A quick snapshot of your financial situation is what's left. It's also a useful benchmark for gauging your progress toward your objectives.
Because your assets and liabilities change over time, your net worth will also change over time. Always keep in mind that it only represents this particular moment in time. Therefore, the actual number is not nearly as important as how the number is changing. You want your net worth to increase. In order to make sure you're on track with your objectives and moving in the right direction, check it frequently. To keep raising this critical metric, optimize your financial resources.

4.??????Determine the amount you need to be financially independent in retirement.
You understand where you are right now and have a clear vision for the future. You must now decide who or what your target is.
The amount of money you must have saved up by the time you retire is known as your financial independence number. Or, how much money must be saved for retirement between now and the time you plan to retire so that your goals can be achieved?
5.??????Establish a schedule for retirement planning.
You can start predicting which of the following ‘whats’ will occur ‘when’ once you know your ‘why’ (vision), ‘where you are right now’ (net worth), and ‘where you need to be’ (financial independence number).
·????????What time will you be retiring?

7.??????Plan to pay off the debt prior to retiring.
The best way to make sure you have the retirement you want is to be debt-free by the time you want to retire and even earlier if you can. And yes, that includes the house as well.
You might think it's impossible right now to become debt-free in 10 to 15 years. It's possible that you've always lived paycheck to paycheck and are unable to imagine how this could ever be accomplished.
