Preparing For A Confident Retirement

Rocco A. CarrierobyRocco A. Carriero

Home Real Estate

The Retirement Check-In® study found that on average, Americans nearing retirement report a gap of nearly $200,000 between what they have saved, and what they believe they will actually need to live comfortably in retirement. According to the same survey, many Americans also lack confidence about being able to cover the necessary expenses in retirement such as housing, food and taxes.

Planning for retirement can be complicated, but breaking it down into simple steps, as demonstrated in the new Confident Retirement® approach can be a simple way for those nearing – or in – retirement to begin planning. The approach takes into account four fundamental areas:

Covering essentials. This is the foundation of any retirement strategy and includes ongoing necessities such as food, housing, taxes and medical expenses. Because economic conditions may always be a little uncertain, your goal should be to fund essential expenses with sources of guaranteed or stable income. This may include social security or a defined benefit plan, among other options.

Ensuring your lifestyle. Most people who are planning for retirement have additional goals they want to pursue—traveling, hobbies, and relocation are just a few. Consider working with a financial professional to develop a sustainable strategy that will cover the expenses that come with your lifestyle goals.

Preparing for the unexpected. Unanticipated events can have a devastating impact on your retirement plans. Since they’re no longer earning a salary, retirees typically lack the financial flexibility to make up for consequences to their retirement plan from unexpected events. Personal liability, medical expenses, supporting a family member and loss of a spouse are some of the most common unanticipated events. Developing a game plan to navigate these bumps in the road that may occur during your retirement is important.

Leaving a legacy. After accounting for essential, life, and unexpected expenses, it’s time to create a legacy plan for any of your remaining assets. Having a plan in place for your loved ones and the causes that are important to you is an essential part of planning for the future. To be effective in your legacy plans, aim to maintain control and leverage as you age. The potential for some types of impairment increases during retirement, so in order to help ensure that your assets are used according to your wishes, consider having these three documents prepared: a healthcare directive, living will, and limited financial power of attorney. Also make sure your beneficiary designations are up to date and that you’ve begin putting an estate plan in place.

The Confident Retirement approach developed by Ameriprise Financial uses the four principles outlined above as a framework to help advisors and their clients work towards their retirement goals. It’s never too early – or too late – to start preparing for retirement. Consider working with a financial professional to define and work toward your unique retirement goals.

  • Experience a Magical Time at the Southampton Ice Rink⁠
⁠
The Southampton Ice Rink is a true gem, especially for families with kids. Conveniently located off County Road 39 in Southampton, it transitions from a popular spot for golf and mini-golf in the summer to a magical ice hockey rink in the winter—a must-visit for parents with hockey-loving kids or anyone seeking joy, amusement, and a bit of exercise through a free skate session.⁠

  • Last Piece of Montauk’s Enchanted Startop Ranch: A Legacy Awaits⁠
⁠
When I arrived at Startop Ranch in Montauk, I immediately felt like I was in a very special place. It’s an indescribable feeling. There is a stillness, a spirituality to the place, and as I type this, I cannot think of another time in my life in recent memory where I got a chill down my spine just by pulling up to a driveway. There is magic here—real magic. You can feel it in the brisk Fall air as horses gallop in the pasture in the distance across rolling hills that overlook water from 360 degrees. You can feel the history of it, the legend of Doctor Leon Star, who fell in love with horses, Montauk, and airplanes and then made it his life, bringing his family along for the ride.⁠
