Personal Finance Case Studies for NYT Money & Longevity Feature

For a special section in April on money and longevity, The New York Times would like your thoughts on how you save and plan for the future, as well as any tips you might have for getting by and meeting your goals. Whether you are in your 20s or in your 60s, how you plan and save depends on what you want to do later in life. Some people travel. Others learn new skills. And some just want to spend time with their families. We want to hear from people who are preparing for the next chapter, modulated by the fiscal realities and possible financial sacrifices that come later in life. Here are some prompts to help you tell your story: - What are your saving goals to help you ensure a positive quality of life? - What are you doing to meet those goals? - How are your priorities shaped by your ability to save and plan — and what are you adamant about hanging onto, no matter the circumstances? If you are saving money and have a plan for the future, we want to hear how it’s going and any advice you have for others.
