Festina lente means to make haste slowly. Even though we all go at different speeds, we must make haste but carefully so and with deliberation.
Creating a retirement plan should be done quickly, however, it shouldn’t be rushed. You must take time to let your ideas marinate. Have conversations, contemplate your ideas, and get it done right.
