00:07That's according to a recent survey by Natixis Investment Managers.

00:11The right age for you is when you're ready.

00:18Get a planner who's a fiduciary, someone who has your best interests in mind.

00:24Maximize social security benefits, navigate health care, decide the best way to take a

00:28pension, plan for possible long-term care, and figure out a sustainable withdrawal rate

00:34from your savings.

00:35However, it's more than just a decision about numbers like age and finances.

00:40Retiring means you need to be emotionally ready, too.

00:51Market Watch suggests making a list of travel and experiences you can start checking off.

00:56You can also make a pie chart or schedule of how you want to divide your time with hobbies,

01:01volunteering, and family.

01:03Remember, when you feel financially and emotionally ready is when you should retire, not when

01:08any survey or chart says so.
