Full Show Notes:
Hypothetical Client Situation
Our hypothetical client for this week is a 69-year-old woman with $800,000 invested, $240,000 in cash, $30,000 in Social Security Income, and $125,000 in an IRA. She also has $16,000 per year in expenses, pays $10,000/year for the mortgage, $5,000 for the car, $12,000 for three vacations per year, and several limited insurance plans.
Retirement Planning Assumptions
Planning for retirement is arguably one of the most important things you can do to safeguard your future. However, retirement planning can be confusing because assessments are built on assumptions. Even the best financial advisor doesn’t know what will happen ten years from now. The task becomes even more complicated when you try to predict the economic landscape for when you finally retire. So, what do financial experts do when trying to create personalized and sustainable retirement plans? They typically use historical averages and make assumptions. This means your plan is not foolproof, and you’re bound to make adjustments along the way.
That said, the reality is that not all assumptions are created equal. Some are far more dramatic than others. So, if an assumption is off by some margin, retirees could be in for too little or too much retirement money. But at the end of the day, the financial advisor is building a plan for YOUR retirement. Make sure they build it according to your specifications.
