May 13, 2017 /prREACH/ -- Career professionals within five years of retirement have some harsh financial realities to face, and that means having a plan to address them, so says Certified Financial Planner Professional Steve Juetten.
Among working Americans, 2/3 report they have saved for retirement, but 57% have saved less than $25,000; in fact, 28% have saved less than $1,000 for retirement. Less than half have tried to figure out how much money they need to save for retirement. No wonder that 2/3 plan to work for pay in retirement and 63% believe Social Security will be a major source of income in retirement. Finally, more than half expect to be able to manage in retirement with no more than 70% of their pre-retirement income.
In addition, there are many factors that can make the retirement landscape appear daunting.
- Down investment markets
- Rising health care costs
- Inflation eating away at buying power
- Confusing Social Security options
- Navigating the multi-part health insurance program for retirees
- Taking money out of savings instead of putting money in
- Fewer opportunities to work after retirement than expected
- Taxes on pensions, Social Security and withdrawals from tax-deferred accounts
- Required Minimum Distributions starting at age 70 from tax-deferred accounts
- Managing one's own nvestments can be daunting
Every situation has a solution, Juetten says, and for those getting close to retirement, they need a plan to address each of these.The sooner the planning starts, the better.
