The Basics of Retirement Income

Описание: An income plan is a personalized strategy designed to help replace your paycheck in retirement using sources like Social Security, pensions, and investments, while also factoring in things like taxes, inflation, and your lifestyle needs over time.

In this episode, we break down the core components of a retirement income plan and why it’s often overlooked in conversations between advisors and the families they serve. You’ll learn how to think through where your income will come from, what might impact it over time, and how to prepare for the unexpected.

We also walk through a real-world example of a couple who faced an unexpected life change and how having an income plan helped them make a smoother transition into early retirement.

In this episode:
Why many families don’t hear about income planning—even when they should
How income planning goes beyond just choosing when to claim Social Security
Ways to build flexibility into your retirement plan to adapt as life changes
