7 Steps To Retiring With More Certainty, Even In A Declining Market.
Learn how to avoid one of the biggest threats to your retirement...that almost no one ever talks about.
To retire and be able to live your life in a truly abundant way... it takes knowing that your financial picture is taken care of first.
If you're a Baby Boomer wanting to retire with a financial game plan so you can finally enjoy what matters most to you, there are 6 essential pillars you need to know about utilized by nearly all successful retirees...
1) Realistic Goal Setting
You should have a clear vision of what you want your retirement to look like. It should be clearly spelled out and budgeted for, and it must be realistic relative to the amount of income and assets you'll have available to you.
2) Effective Income Planning
Whether it's through optimizing Social Security and pension, or generating income through investments and annuities, your income needs to be both adequate to meet your needs and sustainable throughout your life.
3) Tax Efficiency
Not having a plan of action for tax-efficiency could have a huge impact on your retirement outcome. Things like knowing which retirement accounts to draw from first (and why) and taking advantage of a potentially lower tax-bracket could easily save you tens of thousands of dollars.
4) Investment Allocation
Proper investment allocation is always important, but even more so in retirement because of the impact a large loss could have on your outcome. How you view risk will likely be different post-retirement than in your working years, and will likely change over time as well.
5) Risk Management
Have you identified how market risk, inflation risk, longevity and sequence of returns risk might affect you?
These are some of the most common threats to your retirement that have to be measured and dealt with in advance.
6) Evaluation Over Time
You need to have check points periodically over the years. Were your assumptions realistic? Are you still on track to meet your goals? Have there been any changes in the markets, taxes or your life? Any of these could be a reason to make adjustments or change course.
