A lot of retirees or soon-to-be retirees have some of the same or similar concerns when it comes to having enough money in retirement.
You may find yourself wondering if you are going to run out of money, or if you will be able to retire comfortably? Regardless of your individual situation, at Capital City Financial Partners, we believe that everyone deserves a sound and secure retirement – one that you know will last as long as you do and one where you have the freedom to live the lifestyle that you desire.
Securing Enough Money in Retirement
1. Having Enough Income
The first area to cover is ensuring that you have enough income. We spend a large part of our lives knowing that a paycheck will be coming every two weeks or every month. When we retire, our paychecks stop but unfortunately, our expenses do not go away. Many people think they need less income when they retire, however, that may not necessarily be true. Our advisors spend a great deal of time and effort helping our clients create strategies designed to help protect their income sources so that they can feel more confident in the income they will be generating during their retirement years.
2. Risk Managing Your Assets
Secondly, we want to help you ensure that your retirement assets are not taking too much risk. When you are in the retirement danger zone, it is no longer the time to be taking on the same risk that you did when you were in your 40’s or even your 50’s. Far too many people we meet think that they have scaled back their risk exposure, however they go on to find out that they really have not. You must know your risk number and know it before it is too late. We would love to help you find out what your number is and how you can make sure you do not go past it.
3. Reducing Tax
Taxes are a huge part of retirement. Last but not least, we want to talk with you about ways you can reduce the effect of taxes in retirement. We all must pay our share of taxes, but there is no reason to pay a dime more than what we have to.
