Are You Retirement Ready or Not?

Are you confident that your retirement savings will last as long as you do?

Average life expectancy for retirees continues to rise and a 30+ year retirement is becoming more common. A study found that the number one fear of Americans in retirement is running out of money. Can you relate?

15 years before you retire and 5 years after are considered the Retirement Red Zone! Some of the issues you need to be addressing in this time period are:

• Longevity Risk
• Sequential Risk
• Market Risk
• Catastrophic Illness Risk
• Inflation
• Taxes
• Fees
• Beneficiary & Legacy Planning

Here are some of the topics we cover in our planning meetings:

• Do you have a financial strategy to create an income and preserve capital for a 30+ year retirement?
• How to identify and solve for potential income gaps in your current retirement strategy
• Does asset allocation and the 4% withdrawal rule still work in today’s economic environment?
• How a “buy and hold” and sequence risk could potentially jeopardize your retirement security.
• Do you have “Lazy Money” and if so, how to put it to work!
• Social Security…the importance of planning and coordinating benefits with your spouse and/or other sources of income
• “Big Picture” considerations when electing Social Security Income and how you may be able to increase benefits by up to 75%.
• Discuss the differences between Retail and Institutional money managers, and what this means for you and your retirement strategy
• Does your current financial professional have a fiduciary duty to ensure his/her activities are in your best financial interest?

Remember the game we played as kids, “Ready or Not Here I Come”? Well the day will come when you will want to retire, are you ready?
