Retirement Planning

Retirement planning begins with clarifying your retirement goals and determining how long you have to reach those objectives. While some people are fortunate to have an employer-sponsored pension or retirement plan, the primary responsibility of saving for retirement falls on the worker. You should adopt a retirement strategy that allows your money to grow over time while also considering tax implications. Consulting with a financial advisor can help you make the best choices now so you can enjoy a comfortable lifestyle in the future.

Planning for retirement is a long-term process that evolves as your age and income increase. To continue living your desired lifestyle after you stop working, you need to build a financial cushion. Here are the five basic steps you should follow to create a retirement plan:

• Determine when you want to retire
  
• Calculate your retirement spending needs
  
• Determine the after-tax rate of investment returns
  
• Clarify risk tolerance and investment goals
  
• Incorporate estate planning into your retirement strategy
  

Whether you choose to invest in a 401(k) or Roth IRA, you should monitor your account consistently and make alterations as necessary.
