FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
1. When should I start planning for retirement?
The earlier, the better. Starting in your 20s or 30s allows your investments more time to grow through compound interest, but it's never too late to begin. Even planning in your 50s can make a big difference with the right strategy.
2. How much money do I need to retire?
Most experts suggest aiming for 70%–80% of your pre-retirement income annually, but the exact number depends on your lifestyle, location, and health needs. A financial advisor can help you estimate a personalized retirement income goal.
3. What are the best retirement accounts to use?
401(k)s and IRAs are the most common retirement accounts due to tax advantages. Roth versions offer tax-free withdrawals, while traditional accounts give upfront tax deductions — the best choice depends on your income and future tax expectations.
4. How can I make sure I don’t run out of money in retirement?
A solid retirement plan includes diversified income sources, smart withdrawal strategies, and protection against risks like inflation and healthcare costs. Products like annuities and long-term care insurance can add stability and predictability to your income.
5. When should I take Social Security benefits?
You can start as early as age 62, but waiting until full retirement age — or even age 70 — increases your monthly benefit. The right choice depends on your income needs, health, and life expectancy.
