When the kids leave the nest, the house may feel a bit empty, but the opportunities ahead are vast and promising. We spend 20 years (and usually more) letting our children be our main focus and one of our biggest–albeit, favorite–expenses. For many parents, it can be jarring to switch out of that parenting role and shift the focus back onto ourselves. But with the increase in cash flow that comes with an empty nest, you need to be proactive about how you plan financially.
While our job as a parent will never be over, it is time to move some of those personal goals off the backburner and give them the attention they deserve. With newfound time and resources, it’s your chance to prioritize your goals.
Here’s a guide to help you do just that.
