I was fortunate enough to "retire" several years ago. I was a first generation college student and it took me a long time to figure out my career path and get it together, but eventually I was able to really pull it together and achieve financial freedom. It's possible guys.

It's a priority for me, so I'm working hard to make it happen.

I’ve been planning for retirement for a while. It’s been a huge weight off my shoulders to know that I have a plan set in place that’s going to take care of me long after I’m finished with my career.

To be honest, if I was asked this question a couple of years ago, I would have said no. Yes, I had a 401k and decent savings, but I had no real plan in place for exactly how I wanted to retire. I would definitely recommend using Brighthouse to help you plan for your ideal retirement.

I've recently quit my job to pursue art full time. I'm an artist.. I make most of my money doing commissions. I know that I need to think about retirement, but right now I'm just focused on getting this thing off the ground.

I've hopped around in a couple different career fields. I never really payed much attention to my benefits packages.

When it comes to retirement.. I feel so lost. It hasn’t been something that I’ve spent a whole lot of time thinking about.. and that scares me because I’m almost at the end of my working career. Sometimes I wonder if it’s too late to get it all figured out.

I really think that it is important that people start working with a financial advisor early in their career.

This is a HUGE reason why I know that I'm going to be able to afford the retirement that I want. I was a little bit overwhelmed before I started the process, but Brighthouse provided a lot of great info on their site.

Yes! I don't think I would be in the position to have the retirement that I want if I hadn't started working with one a few years back.

I have given it a lot of thought, but I guess I haven't felt comfortable enough to take the next step. It's hard trusting someone else with money.

I had to go on unemployment for a few months. It motivated me to really work on getting a financial plan in place.

Fortunately my job hasn't really been impacted.. other than the fact that I'm now working from home. But, I guess it has impacted me to take things more seriously and start getting proactive.
