As life expectancies increase, the excitement of living longer also brings new considerations in financial planning. That is why it is important to prepare for a retirement that might last longer than you expect.
There are a variety of strategies that can be employed to ensure income well into a retiree’s golden years, including:
🗓️ Annuities can be an ideal option for some Americans, as they offer regular lifetime income.
📈 In some cases, a person approaching retirement age delay may want to delay taking Social Security, as waiting increases monthly payouts by 8% annually up until age 70.
📈 Additionally, your Social Security allotment is based on your 35 highest-earning years, adjusted for inflation. After 35 years of employment, every additional higher-earning year can cancel out a lower-earning year.
