Here are some of the questions we can help you answer.

According to a study from 2021*, running out of money in retirement scares most people more than dying. The concern is real, as longer lifespans can mean a retirement that lasts 30 years or more. Generating retirement income that lasts requires careful planning. But it starts with having a sense of when and where you want to retire, and what kind of lifestyle you envision. A financial professional can help you work through these and other questions.

You can start to receive benefits at age 62, but your monthly benefit rises 8% for each year you wait to start – until age 70, when increases stop. There are lots of factors to consider though, including your need for income, your other sources of income and even your health. Your retirement planner can help you run the numbers and compare scenarios to decide whether earlier or later is right for you.

Health care is one of the biggest expenses most people will face in retirement. A 65-year-old retired couple today will spend an average of $315,000 on health care, according to a new estimate by Fidelity Investments*. A financial professional can help you budget for health care needs as you create a plan for retirement income and show you why life expectancies make planning even more important for women.

As you transition to retirement, your planner can help you set up a systematic withdrawal plan to receive monthly income from your investments. How much you take out depends on how much you need to supplement Social Security and other sources like pension income. In some of your accounts, you may also have to withdraw a certain amount each year because of Required Minimum Distribution rules.

If you’re like many people, you want to have enough money to live comfortably through retirement, but also leave something behind for the people you love and the causes you care about. Your retirement planner can help you develop a comprehensive financial plan, consult with in-house specialists in estate and legacy planning, and refer you to an attorney for essential documents you may need, including a will, durable Power of Attorney, living will and living trust.

While it makes sense to reduce your stock market exposure as you move into retirement, there are good reasons to continue investing a portion of your money in a broadly diversified portfolio. Even though you may be able to live comfortably on the nest egg you’ve built, you might live another 20 or 30 years – or more – in retirement. That’s enough time to potentially grow your savings, both for you and perhaps also for your children and grandchildren to enjoy.
