How to invest once you're retired
When people retire, they have enough money to live comfortably without working. But how can they invest that money? It is most common to place it in savings accounts. However, there are other options. One option is to sell your house and then use the profits to purchase shares of companies that you believe will increase in price. Or you could take out life insurance and leave it to your children or grandchildren.
If you want your retirement fund to last longer, you might consider investing in real estate. Property prices tend to rise over time, so if you buy a home now, you might get a good return on your investment at some point in the future. You could also consider buying gold coins, if inflation concerns you. They don't lose value like other assets, so they're less likely to fall in value during periods of economic uncertainty.
