Are You Going To Outlive Your Retirement Savings?

The problem? The average Baby Boomer has less than $50,000 accumulated for retirement (which means many have less than that), primarily due to bad habits and having money invested in the wrong places where economic downturns can diminish their nest egg. 
Retirement-nest-eggThe solution? Social Security isn’t the answer. Taking ownership is the answer—through asset optimization and equity management with proper financial planning.


When it comes to planning for retirement in these tough economic times, it’s apparent that many Boomers are confused. They feel isolated. They feel powerless. Many fear that it’s too late to plan for a comfortable retirement. Many are concerned that they haven’t saved enough—that they may outlast their retirement resources.

Because of lower rates of return, many are concerned that their nest eggs are draining faster than they had anticipated. What’s more, many are worried that taxes, inflation, and the costs of health care will quickly deplete what they have set aside. To make matters worse, some Boomers are being faced with a “forced retirement” as companies layoff workers to cut costs during the recession. Still others were counting on downsizing their residence by selling it, buying a less expensive house and then augmenting their retirement nest egg with a portion of the equity from their former home.  Many have witnessed that equity diminish greatly or vanish completely and they realize that their house is not nearly as marketable as it was a few years ago. 


How about you? Do you share any of these concerns? If so, the strategies that I'll be outlining in this series of articles called Boomer Faux Pas, 10 Financial Mistakes You Can Correct Before It's Too Late, will hopefully help. Those of you who are fearful that it is too late to prepare adequately for a comfortable retirement will experience new hope. There are home equity retirement-planning options—even in a poor real estate market—that can help you overcome the barriers to a comfortable retirement. Furthermore, those of you already in a state of financial independence can experience a meaningful transformation by learning about even more opportunities you didn’t know existed. Those with money trapped in IRAs and 401(k)s can complete a strategic roll-out and possibly save up to $60,000 a year in unnecessary tax as you prepare to retire.  


The concepts that I teach show you how to take ownership of your financial future. You can make your retirement savings soar—by having your money work harder for you, without you having to work harder for your money. It won’t matter that you started late; you’ll fly above the others who are still grounded, not knowing how to take off. You will discover a new route that will lead you beyond just getting by—toward a better life of wealth, comfort,  abundance, and philanthropy

  1. I do not rely much on my retirement benefits. Since I am still young, fit and able to work, I plan to save as much money as I can to prepare for my retirement.

  2. Set aside pleasures and prioritize saving. If you're starting a career, get your retirement contributions right away and refine your asset allocation later.

  3. Retirement benefits wouldn't be enough if you want to enjoy your retirement. You may want to save some money.
