Whether your goals are traveling the world or spending time with family, our Retirement Financial Advisors can help you meet them.
While living in the present is important, looking ahead is just as essential — especially when it comes to financial planning for retirement. How you manage your income at the beginning, middle and end of your career dictates your financial security when your working days are behind you.
At Cary Street Partners, we pair you with a retirement financial advisor who listens to your desires and helps you meet them. Our partnership will strengthen your understanding of how the decisions you make today can help your future dreams come true. If you haven’t yet thought about retirement, we will tell you why you should.
Why is Retirement Planning Important?
The average American spends 20 years in retirement. How you want to live those years determines how extensive financial planning for retirement needs to be for you. If you dream of traveling, you may need to save more aggressively at an earlier age.
Even a simpler lifestyle requires financial planning to ensure financial security and peace of mind. Defining your plans and calculating cost is crucial to creating a successful retirement plan.
What to Consider When Planning for Retirement
Retirement planning isn’t a one-size-fits-all venture. In fact, when we devise a post-career plan for you, we consider multiple factors to ensure your current or upcoming goals stay on track.
While your income and current lifestyle play a significant role in how much you’re able to conserve, what happens to the money in your retirement account can have a monumental impact on reaching your future goals. The types of accounts you invest in will vary depending on your age, income, and the current economic landscape. With support from your retirement planning financial advisor, we can identify investment opportunities that will help expedite your financial returns.
Risks in Retirement
Planning for retirement without understanding future risks may prevent you from reaping the benefits of your hard work. It’s important to remember that any new life event has risks to watch out for.
Here are some risks that may be overlooked in retirement planning:
- Healthcare risks: The need for expensive medical care later in life
- Longevity risks: Outliving your financial plan
- Asset allocation risks: Not aligning with your needs or comfort level
- Withdrawal rate risks: Depleting savings too quickly
- Inflation risks: Not planning for increased costs of goods and services
Any of these risks can take your retirement plan off course. However, not planning for them is the biggest risk of all. Fortunately, our advisors at Cary Street Partners can help you plan accordingly and navigate these risks.
