About Retirement Watch

Retirement Watch is dedicated to providing Retirement Planning and Estate Planning advice to retirees and people over 50 planning for or preparing for retirement. Retirement Watch's content includes articles on:

Retirement Planning

Retirement Planning - the process of figuring out how much money you’ll need to save for retirement and then putting a plan in place to get there. Retirement planning includes answering the following questions:

What do I want to do in retirement?When do I want to retire?How much money will I need to save by the time I retire?How much will I need to invest every month to hit my retirement goals?Which retirement accounts should I use?What should I be investing in within my retirement accounts?What about medical expenses and long-term care in retirement?Social Security

Social Security - Social Security is an important source of retirement income, so its necessary to know how much Social Security you will receive when you begin taking your benefits. The amount of Social Security benefits varies depending on the year you were born, your lifetime earnings, and the age at which you begin receiving Social Security benefits. You can start to receive Social Security benefits as early as age 62, but waiting to receive benefits might be beneficial. To make the best decision for your individual situation, you’ll need to know your full retirement age (FRA), which is the age at which you’ll be eligible to receive your primary insurance amount (PIA). Special rules apply to current, former, and widowed spouses claiming Social Security benefits, and strategies offer married couples; divorced, widowed, or surviving spouses; and single workers the opportunity to maximize benefits throughout retirement. We’ll illustrate how those rules work and provide examples of how the claiming strategies can increase the amount of Social Security benefits for some recipients.

Estate Planning

Estate planning - the process of anticipating and arranging, during a person's life, for the management and disposal of that person's estate during the person's life and on their death, while minimizing gift, estate, generation skipping transfer, and income tax. Estate planning includes planning for illness and incapacity as well as a process of reducing uncertainties over the administration of a probate and maximizing the value of the estate by reducing taxes and other expenses. The ultimate goal of estate planning is determined by the goals of the individual, and may be simple or complex. Guardians are often designated for minor children and beneficiaries in incapacity.

Annuities

Annuities are insurance contracts that make regular payments to you either immediately or at some point in the future. You can purchase an annuity to help grow or protect your retirementsavings or to provide you with guaranteed income in retirement.

Investing in Retirement

You've worked hard to save for retirement, and you're finally retired. With the right strategy, you can help make sure your retirement savings last as long as needed. This includes calculate the amount you'll need for retirement spending each year. Its important to calculate your retirement expenses and your expected retirement income from other sources. The difference between these amounts is what you'll need to cover with your retirement savings.Its vital to determine whether you can safely withdraw this amount from your retirement savings. You'll want to make sure your retirement savings can safely sustain your retirement spending over the rest of your life. For most people, your investing approach in retirement should be the same as it was all along—to determine an appropriate asset mix and then stick with it. That means you need a balanced portfolio of stocks, bonds, and cash investments that is appropriate for your timeline (usually 30 to 40 years), meets your tolerance for risk. This investing approach will generally give you the mix of growth and income that you need in order to meet your retirement spending needs and sustain your investment portfolio over the long run.

— David P., Gilbert, AZ

I greatly enjoy your Retirement Watch newsletter. Over these many years I have gleaned several helpful estate and investing suggestions with the most recent one being in your July, 2017 edition.

My little estate is nearing the $5.5M valuation, and I read on page 2 your suggestion that such size estates may want to consider stepping up their early gifting so as to possibly avoid any estate tax law changes.

That suggestion struck a chord, and so I have just completed a $227,000 (5% of my estate) early gifting program for 27 family and friends. With my successor trustee’s approval, that represents a potential $100,000 in avoided estate taxes at the 40% rate.

God and the economy willing, I expect to recoup that gifted amount within the next 36 months, and depending upon future estate tax laws, I hope to gift another $500,000 when I reach the $6M threshold.

Thanks for the clear and concise estate and retirement information. Again, my heirs and I have greatly benefited from your vast well of knowledge.
