12/04/15 03:56:pm

As an expat in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or Saudi, your day-to-day thoughts may not be on retirement but enjoying life here and now. However, retirement planning is essential for expats. It's important to step back and ask yourself a few key questions. Start with this one. What is your dream? What is your lifestyle goal for retirement? Whatever that dream is, the only way to make it happen is to plan for it now.

What's Your Vision of the Future?

Lifestyle planning is the process of building a financial plan that's constructed around the lifestyle you desire. Alternatively, many people simply base their decisions around the products available on the market. Your goal is simple. Take a leap into your future. Imagine what you are doing, experiencing, and needing. Envision your lifestyle at that point. Then, take a step back to the present. What do you need to do now to allow yourself that dream lifestyle?

Ask yourself these questions as you think about the future:

  • What does your dream life look like?
  • What are you doing?
  • What does it feel like?
  • Where are you living?
  • Who are you with?

Ideally, you'll be able to use these questions to clarify why you do what you do today. For example, it's rough going to work every day and giving up small pleasures now in hopes of having big dreams come true later. However, when you ask yourself these questions and imagine what life will be like then, it make sense.

Now that you've taken this long, hard look at your future and why you do what you do now, it's time to put a plan in place to make it actually come true.
