Never Retire - The Complete Never Retire Checklist

Part two: The state of your cash

Welcome to part two of our series—the Never Retire checklist.

In this series, we detail the key components you’ll probably have to consider if you plan to Never Retire. Of course, you’ll have to consider most of them if you plan to retire traditionally, however you approach each point in decidedly different ways when you know you’ll be working into relative old age.

• The state of your investments (part one)

• The state of your cash (part two—this installment)

• Where you live and how much it costs you (part three)

• Your physical and mental health (which is tied directly to the previous three points, particularly the third one) (part four)

• The state of the work you do (part five)

• Tying all five bullet points together (part six)

The state of your cash

This installment piggybacks on part one, where we considered the state of your investments.

There’s a similar takeaway here.

Suddenly, you’re sitting on a substantial amount of cash, quite possibly six or even seven figures.

At this juncture, you stop thinking about trading, investing, and making money and you think about your future.
