Everyone has different circumstances. Fortunately, a diverse array of options is available to address your individual needs and aspirations. A skilled financial consultant can help you navigate these options and assess their suitability for your unique situation.
Answers start with questions
How would you like to live? When should you retire? How much should you save? Start thinking about retirement by assessing what you think you'll need and what you want. A common rule of thumb estimate is that you'll need 85% of your pre-retirement annual income when you enter retirement. But there are many factors to consider in determining your savings strategy.
- At what age do you hope to retire?
- Will you have mortgage or rent payments?
- Do you have any significant health concerns?
- Do you plan to move somewhere that’s either more or less expensive than your current standard of living?
- How much would you like to spend on hobbies, activities or bucket-list items?
- Do you anticipate any large expenses between now and retirement, such as buying a home or funding a child’s education?
- Do you want to leave assets to your children?
