The 7 Steps To Retiring With More Certainty, Even In A Declining Market.
A declining market is bad enough, but the REAL risk if you're retired is more serious...and it's barely ever talked about.
When you think about retirement, do you ever wonder:
"How do I get it all figured out?"
There are 6 key ingredients to a healthy retirement. Applying them can give you financial security... and self-permission to live abundantly.
Risk Awareness and Management
Have you identified if market risk, inflation, longevity and sequence of returns risk, among others will affect you? They may be big threats that need to be dealt with in advance.
Efficiency Everywhere
Have a plan of action for things like tax-efficiency, knowing which retirement accounts to draw from first (and why), and utilizing investments that efficiently manage costs and risks.
Clear and Realistic Goals
Do you have a vision of what you want once you retire? It should be clearly articulated and realistic with respect to your level of income and retirement assets.
Income
It's all about the income. Whether it's through optimizing Social Security and pension, or generating income through investments and annuities, your income should be both adequate and sustainable.
Predictability
Nothing's entirely predictable. But it's important to know where you're headed and the likely outcomes. Will you run out of money? If so, around what age? How will changes in tax law, healthcare or inflation affect you?
Evaluation Over Time
You need to have check points periodically. Were your assumptions realistic? Are you still on track? Were there any changes in the markets, taxes or your budget? Any of these could be reason enough to make tweaks or change course.
These 6 essential ingredients combine to form the word RECIPE.
Together, they comprise The Retirement RECIPE™ for living.
