10 Ways to Generate Income in Retirement
The Big Switch—Saving to Spending
Congratulations! After decades of saving for retirement, it’s now time to switch gears from saving to spending. However, after working with tens of thousands of people who are close to retirement or retired, we’ve learned that deciding how to generate income in retirement is one of the most stressful, complicated and confusing aspects of retirement life. Even if you have accumulated a large nest egg—in excess of $500,000— making the wrong income moves could put your entire retirement at risk. That’s why we urge you to call for your free copy of The Definitive Guide to Retirement Income.
A Complicated Balancing Act
Generating a retirement income requires you to balance a variety of elements, many of them beyond your control, such as inflation, stock market volatility, interest rate trends and your and your spouse’s expected longevity. Too conservative in your investments and you risk having inflation strip you of purchasing power. Too aggressive and you risk losing your money. Take too much out early in retirement and risk running out of money in your later years. Too stingy with your withdrawals and you might be cheating yourself out of enjoyable experiences. It’s a tough proposition with lots of emotional components. And that’s often a recipe for disastrous decision making.
