No matter your age or how close you are to retirement, saving up for your future is critical. Doing so — and starting early — can mean the difference between a comfortable, low-stress way of life and a much longer stay in the workforce than intended.

So take stock: How much have you prepared for retirement? Do you have enough to give you the standard of living you’d like as you age?

Take these four essential retirement tips into account:

  1. Diversify your assets.A diverse portfolio can reduce your risk and help you build your wealth faster. Choosing to invest in real estate, stocks, bonds and retirement accounts can help you accomplish this goal.

  2. Hire a financial adviser or planner.Financial professionals can help you create a retirement strategy that fits your exact needs and money goals. Try to speak with them at least once a year to ensure you’re staying on track.

  3. Pay down your debts.If you can head into retirement debt-free, it will only make that time in life more enjoyable for you. Work on whittling down your balances now — so you can reap the benefits later.

  4. Get your estate plan in order.You should start planning early for how you’ll divide up your estate and provide for your loved ones when you pass. The sooner you start, the more time you have to save up and invest to meet those goals.
