- Retirement PlanningJust like you wouldn't take legal advice from your dentist, avoid depending on anyone but a financial expert for advice on money matters. Leverage a financial advisor's expertise to guide you through retirement planning complexities.
- AnnuitiesEnsuring financial stability during retirement is vital, which means not solely depending on a single income source for living expenses. Investing and diversifying across various asset classes and regions is a key strategy to manage risk and generate a consistent flow of income. Building diversified income streams can help cushion the impact of unforeseen expenses and support a comfortable retirement. Diversified income sources can also include annuities, rental income, dividends, part-time work or consulting, and more.
- Long Term CareInsurance is an important component in safeguarding your financial well-being throughout retirement. Policies such as long-term care insurance or comprehensive umbrella insurance are instrumental in covering unexpected costs and helping to preserve your retirement savings for their intended use. This is particularly relevant considering a study that found roughly 70% of individuals reaching age 65 will likely require some long-term care in their later years. [3]
