For even the most financially literate individual, planning for retirement can be a very challenging undertaking. The days of relying solely on your pension and Social Security benefit to satisfy your income needs during retirement appear to be gone. In today’s economic climate, fluctuating  interest rates coupled with high market volatility rates have made planning for retirement difficult and more important than ever.

One of the most difficult aspects of retirement planning is the mental shift it requires. Prior to retirement, your financial life was dictated by an earning and saving paradigm. Once you retire, however, you will no longer be earning a paycheck you can save which means you will need to generate an income through other sources.

A crucial first step toward helping ensure adequate funding throughout your retirement is understanding that having retirement savings is not the same thing as having retirement income. Saving for retirement is what you have spent most of your working life doing, but now is the time to begin using those savings to create the retirement income you’ll need. This can represent both an incredible investment and mental challenge and is a process made much easier by enlisting the services of a financial professional.
