Simplifying the Numbers

What do retirees fear the most?


It’s not death.


It’s running out of money.1 


And guess what retirees’ biggest regret usually is?


It’s not saving enough for retirement. 


How can you possibly address both in one move?


By having the right retirement plan — and by knowing what it takes to live on your nest egg’s returns, instead of the principal.2 The body content of your post goes here.


Wherever you’re at in your retirement planning journey, it can get overwhelming from time to time. Big numbers, real fears, and the uncertainty of the future can make it challenging to stay the course. If we know how the numbers break down, though, it can be easier to take it one step at a time. And it could put us on track for less painful, smarter retirement planning.


Retirement planning and savings doesn’t have to trip you up. And you don’t have to give up entirely on it if you’re gone off track or lost sight of what it’ll take to get back on course. Seeing it all breakdown into some key numbers can be the answer. It can also give you a new way to think about your retirement and make life better when you get there.2

Your Mindset is the Key to Financial Health

Failing with our goals only happens when we stop working on them. So, if you haven’t achieved some goal yet, changing your approach and embracing the power of small daily actions could be the solution you’re looking for. Any one of us can start taking small daily actions to make real progress toward bigger achievements. It doesn’t matter how many times we’ve tried before or what we’re working toward.

Do you feel like the economy isn’t making a lot of sense right now? Is there a mismatch between the headlines and your perception? If so, you’re not alone. There’s a big divide between the current data and the “vibes” many Americans are feeling.

After you turn a certain age (currently 73), the IRS requires that you withdraw at least a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) from your tax-deferred accounts each year. There's one plot twist to keep in mind: Starting in 2023, the RMD beginning age increased to age 73. So, if you turned 72 in 2023, you won't have to take your first RMD until April 1, 2025.
5 Ways to Reduce Your Taxes in Retirement
By Perry Boles 13 Aug, 2021
What are the biggest expenses you’ll face in retirement? Healthcare? Housing? Travel? All of those costs could be significant, but one of the biggest could be taxes. That’s right. Just because you’re done working, doesn’t mean you’re done paying taxes. Many sources of retirement income, like Social Security, pensions, and retirement account distributions, are taxable. That doesn’t even include the wide range of other taxes you could face, like property taxes, sales tax, and more. Taxes may be a part of life, but they can also be a drain on your retirement. Every dollar you pay in taxes is a dollar that can’t be used to support your lifestyle and fund your goals.
