We want to help you be successful in planning your retirement and getting your retirement started “on the right foot”. Once you do that, your chances of success in retirement are much greater.
As InFocus Financial Advisors, our role is to help you make all the right moves that can increase your likelihood of having a prosperous retirement.
To Get Started, Here are 5 Planning Items to Address Before Retirement
- A Great Budget – A well thought out budget that will include today’s expenses but also what you might need over the course of your retirement can greatly increase your chances of success.
- A Plan for Your Retirement Income – Historically, inflation causes our expenses to double over twenty years’ time. If you need $60,000 to live off to retire today, you will likely need $120,000 in twenty years.
- Smoother is Better – A sound strategy to reduce your investment account value fluctuations is important. A “smoother” series of returns (less big swings in account value) can make your investments last much longer and may give you a greater chance of success in retirement. The challenge is you need an investment strategy that will work for you. We work hard each day to help people do this.
- Reserve – Beyond working towards smoother investment returns have a plan of where to get income from your investments when investment markets take a significant drop in value. You need a portion of your portfolio to be a reserve and how much you keep outside the investment markets is a custom calculation for each person’s unique goals. It is important that it is sufficient, but not too large so that you can still get decent performance on your portfolio.
- Social Security Strategy – Choosing when to apply for Social Security benefits can be one of the largest retirement decisions you make – the difference in collecting 60% more income from Social Security. InFocus Financial Advisors, Inc. guides you through the experience and software that can help you create your unique strategy and work towards maximizing your benefits.
