Have you saved enough to retire?

Many people will ask themselves this question.

The way to answer it is to write down ALL your spending for at least one year before you approach retirement (the more years the better). This will tell you your real outgoings.

Then look forwards and see which of these spendings you will likely stop making when you do retire (there will be some). The result you get will be the MINIMUM amount you will need to get in each year from your pensions/savings.

If you have ambitions to do things during your retirement, these will be extra to this base amount and to do these you need to ensure that your savings/pensions will cover this.

Remember with savings, the amount you get in from them can vary (reduce) over time and their value will be eroded by inflation.

If you are planning retirement is a good idea to seek the advice of an INDEPENDENT Financial adviser (you will need to pay them). This will help you ensure that your finances are in the best possible order for the final stages of your life.

Finally with retirement THE YOUNGER YOU START PLANNING/SAVING FOR IT, THE BETTER.

What age can you retire?

You can retire at any age, but you would wantto make sure that you had enough funds to last your lifetime or if you win the lottery. Social Security was not meant to be a retirement plan, we all must save. You can draw SSI at at 62, but a higher payout will be given the longer you wait. The age now is 66 for the best income potential. You need to ask yourself what your goals are an what you will be doing when you retire.
