Key factors that could affect one's retirement planning:-
Retirement planning is not just
about how much one needed to save retirement and where should be
invested.
Ignoring other goal ls:
While planning for retirement is critical, do not ignore planning
for other goals. Along with retirement planning, one should also
plan for any pending expenses. If you don’t plan for other critical
goals, may end up dipping into your retirement corpus to meet
them.
Retreating from all work:
keeping oneself engaged in some activity after retirement is
critical. The chance of falling sick is higher, if you suddenly
shift to a sedentary lifestyle.
Not planning for regular income:
Generating regular income is essential to securing one's
retirement. Gradually withdrawing money from the accumulated corpus
may not be most suitable option. Expert advise people to invest a
part of their retirement corpus in an annuity. Annuity is
guaranteed income for life.
No Post- Retirement planning:
Experts say that retirement planning should not stop at the age of
retirement. It should include planning for the period after
retirement as well. Planning for the Post- Retirement phase is
critical. Financial requirement is like the stumps in a game of
cricket- Liquidity ( For Contingencies) , Regular Income and growth
of the remaining corpus ( so that it lasts longer).
Common pitfalls in retirement planning:-
Having plan with outdated Assumptions:
While most people who are near Retirement age have a sense of how
much assets they have accumulated, how much they will need to spend
in retirement , and how long their money might last, most of people
fail to have those number checked against market conditions.
Retiring too soon:
Working even a few years beyond what you have planned can pay a
surprisingly large bonus in retirement security.
Underestimating Heath care Cost:
Even for those on Medicare heath care Cost can erode spending power
and economic security for most retirees.
Not Diversifying your portfolio:
It is not uncommon for a retiree who worked at the same company for
many years to accumulate a large amount of that company's stock in
his or her portfolio.
