What are your plans when you retire? Will you consult, teach part time, or keep a home-based company? Or are you looking to turn a hobby into a money-making endeavor, or perhaps stay involved in a family business? If so, you are not alone. According to recent AARP research, about 80% of baby boomers say they will work at least part time in retirement, blurring the lines of business and leisure.
About 13% of 55 and older households without dependent children (nearly 5.3 million Americans) are currently moving in and out of retirement, according to SRI Consulting Business Intelligence. Because of poorly performing retirement portfolios, some are being forced to go back to work. They are living longer and healthier lives by keeping active.
We all want an enjoyable, fulfilling, and comfortable retirement. So if you want to retire earlier than normal, you must have a well thought out plan. It still may be possible to work less or even retire earlier, if you plan ahead and follow some recommended steps.
Think it through. You must know what you want out of retirement. It is a change in life, and not just another stage in your finances. Think about the following questions to begin with. Do you have any exciting interests outside your work that you enjoy? Do you derive a large part of your identity from your enterprise? Do you live to work, or work to live?
Know the rules. When withdrawing your funds, be careful of early withdrawal fees and penalties that are required. You can take out 401(K) or IRA funds for early retirement needs under certain circumstances, and prevent paying the 10% tax fees.
Have a plan. Based on your life expectancy, lifestyle, economy, and other factors, know when you want to retire and how many funds you will need. Withdrawing retirement funds too early can make it impossible to make your funds last long enough. Plan your exit according to whether you want to sell the company, or transition the company to your children.
Have a plan. Based on your life expectancy, lifestyle, inflation, and other influences, know when you want to retire and how much money you will need. Plan your succession according to whether you want to sell the company, or transition the establishment to your children. Pulling out of retirement funds too early can make it impossible to make your assets last as long as you need it to.
Look for product flexibility. Use accounts with more versatility, such as an annuity that offers flexible plans, if you are thinking about retirement. They allow you to adjust how much you put in each month.
Seek help. Develop a comprehensive financial plan with your team of advisors. When you own a family business, things are more complicated, and retirement planning can need specialized attention. If you are among the many individuals blurring the lines between work and pleasure, include tax planning, protection planning, business continuation, and then develop an appropriate portfolio for your ever-changing needs.
Protect yourself. Adjust your life, medical and long-term care insurance needs to your changing circumstances. Don't put all your emphasis on saving strategies, and prudently develop your protection plan.
