The Most Important Financial Goal in Retirement Isn't What You Think
Manage episode 378795396 series 1090609
Today, Laura Stover, RFC® and Michael Wallin, CFP® discuss the importance of planning for retirement income and the role of annuities in retirement planning. They start by emphasizing the significance of having a solid plan in place, especially in the face of economic uncertainties like the pandemic, supply chain disruptions, inflation, and market corrections. Over one-third of Americans over the age of 50 regret not having a lifetime income source, as revealed by a recent survey.
We highlight the role of annuities in providing structured, guaranteed income during retirement and stress the need to identify the right annuity product for one's specific situation. Annuities are designed for income purposes rather than accumulation, which makes it important to choose a reputable insurance company.
Laura and Michael discuss various types of annuities, including multi-year guaranteed annuities and fixed indexed annuities. They emphasize that annuities should be a part of a comprehensive retirement plan and not the sole solution. There are potential benefits to using structured notes as part of a diversified investment strategy.
Purpose-based allocation should be the priority, where different financial tools are used to address specific financial goals in retirement. Always seek professional advice and consider individual circumstances when making financial decisions.
