Building a safety net into retirement plans

06/24/11


While some Americans may have been properly planning for retirement over the years, the scary fact is unforeseen events happen every day that can throw those plans completely out of whack. If a person or their spouse is injured or loses their job, the plan that was in place may completely fall apart.

In order to prepare for the future, experts recommend reviewing all retirement accounts and savings, according to U.S. News and World Report. If an individual is part of a company 401(k) plan they should make sure they are contributing the maximum amount if financially possible.
Checking annuities and stocks to ensure they have chosen the proper investment strategy can also be financially helpful.

Deciding when to take Social Security can significantly affect the amount of money an individual is going to collect for the rest of their lives so this is an important part of retirement planning. Americans are eligible to receive benefits as early as 62 and can wait up to eight years after that to begin collecting. For every year they wait, the benefits increase approximately 8 percent.
