Hey there, I'm Tony Medrano with your Retirement Income Team. In our last video, we shared how to build a retirement strategy to live your best life in retirement.
We believe a balanced approach to retirement can help protect against risks that may impact your retirement outcome.
Here are some risks to consider while planning for retirement:
Personal risks — like spending more than your retirement budget or changes to your family dynamics.
Legislative risks — this includes changes to taxes or retirement plans and the future of Social Security.
Health-related risks — these can come in many forms such as large, unexpected medical costs or diminished capacity to manage your own finances.
Investment risks — like Inflation and market risk.
Longevity risk — while a long life can be a great problem to have, you run the risk of outliving your money.
Longevity risk is the most important to think about. If you live a long life with a long retirement, there's a higher likelihood the other risks may disrupt your retirement plan.
