It’s graduation time at colleges across the
country. If you have children graduating from college, you’re probably
excited about the opportunities that lie ahead for them. But once your
last child leaves home, and you become an “empty nester,” you also may
find some good opportunities for yourself — opportunities to improve your
financial situation.
In fact, your empty nester status may help you make progress toward what
are likely some key financial goals at this stage of your life: Getting
rid of debt and accelerating your savings for retirement.
What steps should you consider? For starters, you could downsize your home
by moving into a smaller, less expensive one. If you make a profit on the
sale of your home, you could use it to invest for retirement and clear up
debts. Of course, you may be emotionally attached to your home and
neighborhood, but downsizing may be a good financial option to consider at
some point.
Here are a few other suggestions for taking advantage of your empty nest:
“Max out” on your retirement plans. If
you now have money no longer needed for your children’s college education,
use these funds to help save for retirement. Try to fully fund your
traditional or Roth IRA, and put as much as you can possibly afford into
your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan. If you still have
money available after “maxing out” on these accounts, look for other
retirement savings vehicles.
Increase your investments for other goals.
Up until now, part of your investment strategy — perhaps a large part —
was aimed at building enough resources to help your children pay for
college. Since that need has now been met, you may be free to boost your
investment toward other goals, such as travel, a vacation home, charitable
giving, funding for a small business you hope to operate after you retire
— the list could go on and on. And since you are probably entering your
peak earning years, you may be able to add substantially to the
investments designed to help you achieve these various objectives.
Reduce your credit card debt. If you
have more disposable income available now, try to pay off your high-rate
credit cards. By freeing up this money, you can save and invest more.
Evaluate your insurance needs. When you
purchased your life insurance, you may have factored in enough coverage to
pay off your mortgage, send your kids to college and provide some
retirement funds for your spouse. But if your kids are through school,
your mortgage is nearly paid off and your spouse has accumulated some
money in an employer-sponsored retirement plan, you may not need the same
amount of life and disability coverage. Any money you can save on
insurance can be used to help fund your IRA, 401(k) or other investments.
As an empty nester, you will miss your
children, but you’ll also find that you have greater freedom to pursue
your hobbies or other interests. And by taking the steps described above,
you can help yourself move closer to reaching your financial objectives as
well.
