What's Retirement Readiness?
Submitted by LWM | Linden Wealth Management LLC on October 31st, 2019
Are You Ready?
Retirement readiness means you have the financial resources to cover all expected and unexpected expenditures throughout the remainder of your life and that you can continue to maintain a high standard of living no matter the situation.
Readiness is an objective all retirees seek. Still, the path to getting there will vary depending on your finances and unique circumstances.
So, how will you know if you're ready? The answer to that question is more involved than you might think.
In years past, retirement was more straightforward. Pensions covered most of a retiree's income needs. With the advent of defined contribution plans like 401-k's, the burden shifted from employer to employee.
We are living longer, retiring younger, which means our retirement dollars and income must last longer. With longevity comes increased health care expenses, and sadly for married couples, the likelihood one spouse outlives the other.
Retirement should be the most rewarding and fulfilling time of your life. Active financial planning can help ensure that's the case replacing doubt with greater certainty that you've got this covered!
