Will My Money Last? Common Question for those Facing Retirement.

DYI Retirement planning My Block

“Will my money last?” is a common question. Retirement requires decision-making – and decision-making requires answers to questions those facing retirement need to answer. The best first step is a retirement needs analysis to begin the journey.

Do these questions sound familiar?

  • Do I have enough money to retire?
  • Will my money last? How long?
    • Under different inflation rates?
    • Under different tax rates?
  • How will the sunsetting of current tax law the end of next year affect me?
  • How will unforeseen emergencies (roof replacement, medical, etc.) even five or ten years from now affect my future security?
  • When should I apply for Social Security? Medicare? How do I choose a plan?
  • What will my required minimum distributions (RMDs) be and when will they begin?
  • How will my RMDs affect my Medicare premiums
  • What will taxes be on my Social Security benefits and how can they be reduced?
  • How can I protect against future tax increases during my later retirement years?

Planning your financial future is like planning a journey – so you can end-up at a destination you’ll like – doesn’t have to feel like work. In fact, it can be fun! But, you don’t want to be like he Griswalds who travelled 2,000 miles to find Wally World closed.
