Take Control of Your Retirement
and make it as rich and rewarding as you want...
Retirement has changed and will change again…and again. Your strategy needs to keep up with the trends.
Not long ago, retirement lasted only a few years; employer-provided pensions and Social Security provided most of the income; taxes are rising; estate planning is changing; employers and Medicare are reducing coverage; and on and on and on.
The old rules of retirement do not work any more. Following the tried-and-true rules of thumb could cost you big in retirement. Buy and hold investment? Take Social Security benefits as soon as possible? Always defer taxes, because you will be in a lower bracket in retirement? Assume retirement spending will be about 70% of pre-retirement income?
