Most everyone views a happy retirement as one of their top goals. But how do you prepare?

How about with goal-based investing? This approach shows how focusing on one goal (or several) can aid you toward your aim of a relaxing retirement.

As discussed here on MintGeni, this approach to investment is based around pursing specific objectives. It can be used to prepare for retirement, and also for those who are already retired.

This makes it an approach that can appeal to everyone. You can set objectives to pad your portfolio and prepare you for retirement. Or, you can always become a more focused investor in retirement, allowing you to achieve financial independence to travel the world, splurge, and reward yourself as you deserve.
